Guía educativa dirigida a pacientes de diálisis peritoneal para el fortalecimiento del entrenamiento y disminución de la incidencia infecciosa

Abstract

This project addresses the growing prevalence of chronic kidney disease worldwide, and specifically in Colombia, where the numbers of stage 5 patients requiring renal replacement therapy are significant. Given this scenario, peritoneal dialysis stands out as a home treatment option that promotes patient autonomy and improves their quality of life. However, the effectiveness of peritoneal dialysis depends largely on the education and proper training of the patient and their family since infectious complications, such as peritonitis, represent a considerable risk and one of the main causes of abandonment of therapy or even mortality. For this purpose, three objectives are proposed: 1. Identify the factors that contribute to infectious complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis based on the ISPD 2022 guidelines, these factors are divided into modifiable ones. 2. Analyze the health educational. methodologies used in Latin America for patients on peritoneal dialysis through a literature review from 2010 to 2025, 3. Create an educational and training guide that serves as a tool for learning the therapy in patients with peritoneal dialysis, this project seeks to improve patient outcomes in peritoneal dialysis treatment by reducing infectious complications by strengthening educational and training material for this large group of patients, all this to empower the patient with their therapy and make their treatment a success.
