A Delphi Survey for Key Stakeholders to Identify Priority Self-management Outcomes for Chronic Kidney Disease
- Conditions
- Chronic Kidney Diseases
- Registration Number
- NCT05991726
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Leicester
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this Delphi study is to identify priority outcomes for self-management in earlier (non-dialysis) stages of CKD from the perspectives of different stakeholder groups in the UK. The findings of this study will be used to inform outcome measure selection for research and clinical evaluations of self-management resources and to support implementation, commissioning and uptake.
- Detailed Description
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition affecting more than 1.8 million people in England
Effective self-management is important for people living with CKD like many Long-Term Conditions. Self-management in its broadest term can be summarised as individuals participating in the day-to-day management of their chronic condition
Theory- and evidence-based tools and resources for self-management education and support are required to encourage health-promoting behaviours. However, outcomes valued by key stakeholders are necessary to ensure robust evaluation in research settings and clinical practice
A Delphi study is carried out to generate consensus on outcomes that are valued by the stakeholder groups in this study. The Delphi study will undergo 3-4 survey rounds
Adult CKD patient participants living in the UK and their significant others were recruited via social media adverts shared by our research team and English kidney community organisations. Healthcare professionals, commissioners and policymakers (professional groups) based in the UK were recruited by direct email invitations to our extensive contacts in the field

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Consensus Ranking Between 3 to 6 month Round 3- Participants are asked to rank each item and themes in order from high to low importance to identify the most valued outcomes
Open ended free text question Between 3 to 6 month Round 1- Participants are asked to describe the 3 most important outcomes for self-management in people with non-dialysis CKD from their own perspective or opinion
Consensus Rating Between 3 to 6 month Round 2- Participants are asked to rate each item on a 9 point Likert-type scale, the lowest scoring items are removed (consensus is predefined as ≥ 70% on each item scoring on the critical importance scale that is a score of 7-9).
