Description
Nurses teaching dialysis patients to control potassium, in clinics with no dietitians, is praised and probed in a 2026 commentary by Ying Dai and colleagues. They discuss a study by Ouirdani and co-authors in Moroccan hemodialysis centers, where specialist shortages are severe.
The intervention used visual aids in the local dialect, fitting a population where 70% had no formal education. It was followed by lower serum potassium and more patients inside the target range. Dai and colleagues call that an encouraging signal that fits wider evidence for nurse-led education in chronic disease. They also flag the weak design: a single-arm before-and-after study cannot prove the teaching caused the change, and they outline how future trials should be built.
