Description
Shena Gazaway and co-authors set out the ImPart study protocol for kidney disease decision support in this 2025 paper. People with stage 4 chronic kidney disease face hard choices as the disease advances. Their caregivers share those choices and need skills to support them well. The intervention trains both members of the pair.
The pilot trial will enroll 64 patients and 64 caregivers at one site. Pairs are assigned to eight combinations of three training parts. Parts vary in coaching dose, communication training, and patient education on social support. Main outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the program. Early efficacy signals are a secondary aim. The design was informed by community input from the start.
