About this study
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to learn about the level of knowledge and attitudes of medical staff working in dialysis centers about living kidney donations. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the level of knowledge of dialysis center medical staff regarding living kidney transplantations?
- How much time does the staff have for educating the patients about living kidney donations? Participants will be asked to answer a self-report questionnaire along with two standardized tools.
- Conditions
- Kidney Transplant
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knowledge and attitudes of dialysis centers medical workers toward living kidney donations.
Knowledge and attitudes will be measured using a 38-item self-report questionnaire with single and multi-choice questions.
Measured: 22 months
How satisfaction with life impacts attitudes toward living kidney donation
Polish adaptations of a standardized tool will be used to measure satisfaction with life.
Satisfaction with Life Scale with responses measured using a 7-point Likert scale, where: 7-I strongly agree, 6-I agree, 5-I tend to agree, 4-I neither agree nor disagree, 3-I tend to disagree, 2-I disagree, 1-I strongly disagree. The result of the measurement was a general indicator of the feeling of satisfaction with life ranging from 5 to 35 points (scores of 20 are considered neutral).
Measured: 22 months
How self-esteem impacts attitudes toward living kidney donation
Polish adaptations of standardized tools will be used to measure self-esteem.
A 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) with responses measured on a 4-item Likert scale where: 0 (strongly agree), 1 (agree), 2 (disagree), and 3 (strongly disagree). The maximum score is 30, and higher scores indicate higher self-esteem.
Measured: 22 months
How empathy impacts attitudes toward living kidney donation
Polish adaptations of standardized tools will be used to measure empathy.
Davis' Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), a 28-item self-report questionnaire using a 5-item Likert scale with two anchors (A=Does not describe me well; E=Describes me very well). The IRI covers multiple dimensions of empathy.
Measured: 22 months
How self-efficacy impacts attitudes toward living kidney donation
Polish adaptations of standardized tools will be used to measure self-efficacy.
General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) with the total score calculated by finding the sum of all the items and ranges between 10 and 40, with a higher score indicating more self-efficacy.
Measured: 22 monts
