About this trial
The goal of this pilot study is to find out whether educational videos can help patients better understand, and remember, important information regarding the benefits and risks of having a kidney transplant.
The study aims to answer several questions, including:
1. Is the video-based educational intervention acceptable and feasible for kidney transplant patients? 2. Does the intervention improve patient knowledge and satisfaction immediately after viewing? 3. Does the intervention improve patient knowledge retention a week later? 4. What are patients views on the video format as an educational tool?
At the moment, patients learn about kidney transplantation through written documents, and discussions and conversations with their clinicians / doctors. However, the concern here is that not everyone has the same level of understanding when it comes to language literacy, medical jargon and information. This can result in gaps in knowledge, misunderstandings, and / or misinterpretations, including the need for lifelong medication and possible post-transplant complications.
Patients understanding of the benefits and risks of transplantation is extremely important, as there are aspects which patients may not be aware of, including the need for (and importance of) lifelong medication, and also potential disease complications which may follow transplantation. For example, following a kidney transplant, it is not uncommon for patients to develop diabetes.
Participants in the study will:
Watch two short videos (roughly five minutes each) that explain the benefits and risks of kidney transplantation.
Answer some questions before video viewing, immediately after video viewing, and one week after video viewing.
Complete a short interview to give deeper feedback on the videos.
This study will explore whether using video helps patients to feel more informed and also satisfied with the clinical information they receive, and whether they can better retain this information. The investigators aim to support more informed patients, making transplant education clearer, more accessible, and generally easier to understand.

Views on Information Resources for Kidney Transplantation Patients
BehavioralA pilot study to improve kidney transplant patient education. The study explores whether videos help patients to better understand and remember important information regarding the benefits and risks of receiving a kidney transplant. Currently, patients receive transplant information through written materials, and clinician discussions. However, not everyone has the same level of language literacy and medical understanding, which can lead to critical knowledge gaps, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations. Patients may also not know about lifelong medication needs, and complications which may follow transplantation, such as diabetes, making patient education and understanding essential. This study explores whether video materials helps patients feel more informed and satisfied with the clinical information they receive, and whether they can better retain this information. The investigators aim to support more informed patients, making transplant education clearer, and accessible.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Patient satisfaction with existing educational information
The Satisfaction with Existing Information questionnaire will be used to assess participants' satisfaction with the existing information received from their kidney transplant team. This will be used to help assess participants baseline satisfaction with standard kidney transplant education materials.
Time frame
T1 - Day 1 (Immediately pre-video viewing).2
Patient understanding of kidney transplantation benefits and risks - Benefits
One open-ended question will assess patient understanding of the benefits of kidney transplantation. This will be used to assess whether patient understanding of the benefits of transplantation changes from immediately pre-video viewing, to immediately post-viewing, and at one week follow-up.
Time frame
Patient understanding will be assessed at all three time points: T1 - Day 1 (Immediately pre-video viewing), T2 - Day 1 (Immediately post-video viewing), T3 - Day 7 (One week follow-up)3
Patient understanding of kidney transplantation benefits and risks - Risks
One open-ended question will assess patient understanding of the risks of kidney transplantation. This will be used to assess whether patient understanding of the risks of transplantation changes from immediately pre-video viewing, to immediately post-viewing, and at one week follow-up.
Time frame
Patient understanding will be assessed at all three time points: T1 - Day 1 (Immediately pre-video viewing), T2 - Day 1 (Immediately post-video viewing), T3 - Day 7 (One week follow-up)4
Patient Satisfaction with video educational materials
The Satisfaction with Study Materials questionnaire will be used to assess participants' satisfaction with the video educational materials received from the research team. This will be used to assess participant satisfaction and to understand if the materials are coherent to participants, or if changes may be needed to make the materials more accessible, understandable, and effective.
Time frame
