简要总结
For patients with end-stage kidney disease, transplantation is the treatment of choice, offering improved quality of life by restored metabolism and freedom from dialysis. However, demands regarding the acquirement of knowledge in life post transplantation are high. In order to reduce rejection episodes, graft loss and the negative consequences of life-long immunosuppressive medication, it is essential for kidney recipients to possess knowledge about important aspects regarding immunosuppressive medication, graft surveillance and the benefit of specific lifestyle behavior. Consequently, patient education is required for this patient group. This randomized controlled trial is investigating the effect of a structured patient education program on kidney recipients' knowledge, coping and quality of life

结局指标
主要结局
Kidney recipients'knowledge level
时间窗: 6 months post kidney transplantation
Knowledge level is measured by a self-administrated knowledge questionnaire consisting of 19 items addressing knowledge in relation to three areas: medication, rejection and lifestyle. Each item is rated using a 5 points scale, anchored on the left with the wording "totally disagree"(1), "rather disagree" (2) "either agree or disagree" (3), "quite agree" (4) and to the left with "totally agree"(5). Patients are asked to put a ring around a number to indicate their level of agreement with each item.
