About this study

Official title: Monocentric Retrospective Cohort Study of the Impact of Advanced Nursing Practice on the Follow-up of the End Stage Chronic Renal Disease Patient: Influence on the Implementation of an Arteriovenous Fistula Prior to Dialysis and on Access to Renal Transplantation

With regard to the fields of competence of advanced practice defined by the Order of October 22, 2021 amending the Order of July 18, 2018 on the system of studies for the State diploma of advanced practice nurse mentioning renal disease, dialysis and renal transplantation (MRDT) and the latest recommendations of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) of July 1 2021 on the monitoring of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) has its place in improving practices and the care pathway of patients suffering from end-stage chronic renal failure (CKD).

In the literature, there are a number of studies arguing the benefits of advanced practice nurse follow-up with patients suffering from chronic renal failure (CKD) in terms of improving their psycho-social and self-care skills. However, few studies, particularly in France, demonstrate its role in the coordination of care. By virtue of their training, advanced practice nurse with an disease, dialysis and renal transplantation (MRDT) specialization acquire skills in managing pretransplant assessment files and in planning the creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which enable them to be autonomous and relevant professionals in the coordination of these processes. This is why it seems appropriate to look at the added value that advanced nursing practice can bring to the follow-up of these patients.

Read the detailed description

To this end, a study of the practices and social representations of healthcare professionals involved in the management of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients can allow us to - To explore current practices under the focus of follow-up by a nephrologist and an advanced nurse on access to renal transplantation and on the implementation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) versus follow-up by a nephrologist only.

  • To perceive the "reading grids" that health professionals in transplant centers assign to the management of this type of patient by an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN).
  • To question the identity issues associated with the actors by taking into account their status and roles in the institution and in interdisciplinaritý.

This study should produce initial results on the changes induced by advanced nursing practice on access to care and on the improvement of complex care pathways and more particularly for the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patient.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Collected of DatasOther

    age, sex, mode of dialysis, emergency context, approach, date of creation of the arteriovenous fistula (if concerned), date of start of dialysis, transplant status, date of registration on the renal transplant waiting list (if concerned), nephrologist, date of first consultation with the pre-nurse in advanced practice (APN) (if concerned)

  • semi-structured interviewOther

    Semi-structured interviews will be realized. The goal is to establish a qualitative analysis of the relevance and organization of pre-transplant assessments, of the reactivity in the adjustment of requests and assessments, and to identify the strong points or areas for improvement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the impact of the implementation of an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) dedicated to the nephrology care pathway on the creation of arteriovenous fistula before dialysis sessions.

    Rate of patients arriving with a functional arteriovenous fistula (AVF) at dialysis start. This rate will be compared between patients starting dialysis who received alternating nephrologist/pre-Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) follow-up and patients starting dialysis who received usual follow-up (control group).

    Measured: Year: 1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of patients on the transplant list.

    This rate will be compared between patients starting dialysis who received alternating nephrologist/pre-IP follow-up and patients starting dialysis who received usual follow-up (control group).

    Measured: Year: 1

  2. To explore the beliefs and attitudes of healthcare professionals in transplant centers regarding the management of patients by an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN).

    Measured: Year: 1

  3. Identify the strengths and areas for improvement of this system.

  4. Rate of patients on the transplant list

    This rate will be compared between patients starting dialysis who received alternating nephrologist/pre-Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) follow-up and patients starting dialysis who received usual follow-up (control group).
