This trial is testing three different educational approaches to help patients with advanced chronic kidney disease prepare for vascular access placement โ a procedure needed for hemodialysis. Some patients will receive a video and brochure, others will get that same material plus coaching sessions by video call, and a third group will receive the usual education from their kidney doctor and clinic. The goal is to see which approach helps patients feel most prepared and supported.
Many patients with advanced kidney disease feel anxious or unprepared when facing vascular access placement, which is an important step before starting dialysis. This trial exists to find the best way to educate and support patients so they feel more confident and informed about what to expect.
