Conditions: Medication Adherence
Kidney Transplant; Complications
Patient Empowerment
Patient Satisfaction

Interventions: Behavioral: SOC + Educational Videos Designed Especially for post-transplant patients

Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of educational videos for patients who have just had kidney transplant compared to usual patient education practices. Eligible patients will have the opportunity to enroll in this study after their transplant procedure either before hospital discharge or at their first follow up clinic visit.

Detailed Description: Participants will then complete a demographic survey and knowledge assesment to establish their baseline of knowledge regarding post-transplant care, medication adherence and patient satisfaction. Participants will then be randomly selected to receive either the usual patient education care provided for patients following kidney transplant, or to receive the usual care plus access to educational videos designed especially for post- transplant patients. Videos can be viewed on a tablet computer with their transplant team during clinic visits and at home using a smartphone.

At 3 months post-transplant, all participants will be asked to repeat the knowledge assessment. Hospital re-admissions and patient satisfaction will be measured at 6 months after transplant.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in patient transplant knowledge during intervention as measured by the scores from the "Transplant Knowledge" block within the Duke Transplant University Assessment	Baseline to 3 months	Change will be measured by comparing the scores from the Transplant Knowledge assessments completed at baseline and 3 months.
Number of medication errors made post-transplant as measured by pillbox errors	1 month, 2 months and 3 months	The number of medication errors will be measured by counting number of pill box errors identified by pharmacist's review of patient's pillbox during transplant follow up clinic visits conducted at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months.
Change in perceptions of self-efficacy as measured by the scores from the "Self-Efficacy and Resiliency" assessment within the Duke Transplant University Assessment	Baseline to 3 months	Change will be measured by comparing the scores from the Self-Efficacy and Resiliency assessments completed at baseline and 3 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patients' satisfaction with the transplant experience as measured by satisfaction ratings	Baseline and 6 months	Patients' satisfaction with the transplant experience will be measured by the rating scores from "general satisfaction" metrics.
