{"doi":"10.1111/ctr.14838","title":"Preliminary feasibility of animated video education designed to empower patients’ referral to kidney transplantation","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Referral for kidney transplantation is influenced by patient education; digital technologies can enhance broad information accessibility. This single-group study tested the feasibility and acceptability of patient-centered self-directed educational animated videos to improve mediators of kidney transplant referral. METHODS: Community-based adults with chronic kidney disease stage ≥4 invited from a clinical registry or self-responding to flyers viewed eight sequential videos (19:36 min total duration) remotely on their own device. Change in kidney transplant knowledge, concerns, and confidence talking about kidney transplantation to doctors was assessed with self-report surveys before and immediately after viewing. Program feedback was assessed by survey and self-selected exit interview. RESULTS: Viewers of the video set (n = 50) demonstrated increases in mean kidney transplantation knowledge by +22%, confidence discussing with their doctor by +6%, and reductions in concerns by -2%. Knowledge results were consistent across age, race, and literacy level. Over 90% indicated positive ratings on understanding, engaging, and helpfulness. In post-study interviews viewers indicated the videos promoted confidence in obtaining a kidney transplant and none reported that the 19-min duration of the home education was too long. CONCLUSION: The animated video education is promising to improve diverse individuals' knowledge, concerns, and communication confidence about kidney transplantation and is highly acceptable.","journal":"Clinical Transplantation","year":2022,"id":281792,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":8,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9533,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":419470,"name":"Maria Keller","orcid":"0000-0003-1417-0812","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":957468,"name":"Barbara Breckenridge","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":957031,"name":"Thomas Hugh Feeley","orcid":"0000-0002-8803-3688","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":957469,"name":"Jamal Suboh","orcid":null,"position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":723022,"name":"Laurene Tumiel‐Berhalter","orcid":"0000-0002-1472-2616","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":930601,"name":"Liise K.
