Summary
This trial is looking at whether or not electronic patient reported outcome measures (ePROMs) can help assess and monitor symptoms for patients on maintenance hemodialysis, as well as whether or not a self-management support and decision support information hub can help with symptom management.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who have been on maintenance hemodialysis for over 3 months due to kidney disease. It's not suitable for those with severe acute illnesses, non-English speakers, a life expectancy under 6 months, dementia, or an inability to consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests SUPPORT-DIALYSIS with access to a symptom management website against standard care without this tool. Patients at two dialysis centers will be randomly assigned to either use the ePROMs and information hub or receive the usual treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves electronic monitoring and informational support rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to using technology such as stress or frustration.
