Brief Summary

**NEED OF THE STUDY**

Growth of peritoneal dialysis is hampered by the continuingproblem of peritonitis. Peritonitis not only is the leading cause of techniquefailure but also contributes to mortality.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) related infections continue to be aserious complication for PD patients. Peritonitis can be associated with pain,hospitalization and catheter loss as well as a risk of death. Peritonitis riskis not evenly spread across the PD population or programs. Very low rates ofperitonitis in a program are possible if close attention is paid to the causesof peritonitis and protocols implemented to reduce the risk of infection.

Alsoat present in one setting, the company of fluid distributers teaches about howto perform peritoneal dialysis. They monitor the caregivers/patients for twoweeks and then they are supposed perform independently at their own level.Patient remains in contact with nephrologist for his treatment.

Sometimesother aspects of peritoneal dialysis might be ignored like dialysis practices,infection control measures.

Alsothere might be a lacunae in regular follow up and the decreased competency ofthe peritoneal dialysis caregivers which leads to increased rate ofcomplications and less utilization of home dialysis.

Wecan overcome this by providing them knowledge regarding the home based care andhelp them in increasing their competency.

**Objectives –**

1.     To develop a web- based home care management programme for chronic peritoneal dialysispatients.

2.    To compare the quality of life , adherence  totreatment and nutritional markers of chronic peritoneal dialysis patients amongexperimental and control group

**HYPOTHESIS**

**H1:** There will be a significant difference in the qualityof life after the implementation of web-based home caremanagement program inexperimental group as compared to control group of chronic peritoneal dialysispatients as assessed by WHO-QOL BREF scale at p<0.05 level of significance.

**H2:** There will be a significant difference in theadherence totreatment  after the implementation ofweb-based home care management program in experimental group as compared to controlgroup of chronic peritoneal dialysis patients as assessed by Dialysis Practices Assessment Tool at p<0.05 level of significance.

**H3:** There will be a significant difference in thenutritional markersafter the implementation of web-based home caremanagement program inexperimental group as compared to control group of chronic peritoneal dialysispatients as assessed by laboratory values at p<0.05 level of significance.
