eHealth Usability in Living Kidney Donation

NCT04791670 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 122

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several web portals for patients are available, but an assessment of their performance is scarce. This is of particular interest among candidates for kidney living donation. A crucial aspect of living donation is to provide standardized information about the risks of the procedure. In 2019 it was launched a personalized digital care path for kidney living candidates, which contains information about the donation process and facilitates the communication between clinicians, transplant coordinators, and patients, enabling telemedicine.

We aim to investigate living donor candidates' experience with the Health Village web portal and the digital care path for living donor candidates. The secondary aim is to investigate their attitude of living donor candidates to eHealth services.

Conditions

  • Living Kidney Donation

Interventions

OTHER

survey study

The surveys will include general data, the type of electronic devices in possession and the purpose of use. eHealth literacy will be assessed with the eHeals questionnaire. Platform's ease of use will be assessed with the System Usability Scale, and participants´ opinion about the digital path utility with six questions. These items will be answered with a Likert-scale. Finally, we added an open question for qualitative analysis.
