Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of educational videos for patients who have just had kidney transplant compared to usual patient education practices. Eligible patients will have the opportunity to enroll in this study after their transplant procedure either before hospital discharge or at their first follow up clinic visit.

Detailed description

Participants will then complete a demographic survey and knowledge assesment to establish their baseline of knowledge regarding post-transplant care, medication adherence and patient satisfaction. Participants will then be randomly selected to receive either the usual patient education care provided for patients following kidney transplant, or to receive the usual care plus access to educational videos designed especially for post- transplant patients. Videos can be viewed on a tablet computer with their transplant team during clinic visits and at home using a smartphone. At 3 months post-transplant, all participants will be asked to repeat the knowledge assessment. Hospital re-admissions and patient satisfaction will be measured at 6 months after transplant.
