Meeting patients where they are: improving outcomes in early chronic kidney disease with tailored self-management support (the CKD-SMS study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

To achieve optimal health outcomes, people with chronic kidney disease must make changes in their everyday lives to self-manage their condition. This can be challenging, and there is a need for self-management support interventions which assist people to become successful self-managers. While interventions have been developed, the literature in this area is sparse and limited by lack of both individualisation and sound theoretical basis. The aim of this study was to implement and evaluate the Chronic Kidney Disease-Self-Management Support intervention: a theory-based, person-centred self-management intervention for people with chronic kidney disease stages 1-4.

Methods

A single-sample, pre-post study of an individualised, 12-week intervention based upon principles
