What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a nurse-led educational program could improve how hemodialysis patients care for their vascular access (the connection used for dialysis). 166 patients with chronic kidney disease who were on outpatient hemodialysis and had an arteriovenous fistula took part. They received individual teaching sessions and a leaflet, and their self-care behaviors were measured before and after the intervention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nursing educational intervention (behavioural)
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could help hemodialysis patients maintain their vascular access better, reducing complications and improving self-care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with no blinding or control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, not a medical treatment.
