NCT ID NCT07430449
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a training booklet based on Roy's Adaptation Model could help kidney patients who are starting immunosuppressive therapy. The booklet covers topics like what the drugs do, side effects, and how to adapt to the disease. Researchers measured patients' medication adherence, disease coping, and self-efficacy before and after the education. The goal is to see if this simple educational tool can improve patients' ability to manage their treatment and daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- training booklet
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this educational approach could help kidney patients better manage their medication and adapt to their disease, improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is educational, not a drug, so it cannot directly treat the disease.
