The role of Advanced Practice Nurses in creating the Kidney Transplant candidate care map (APN-preKT): a convergent-parallel mixed methods research protocol

Abstract: Background Waiting time for kidney transplants (KT) is an important health determinant for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). During this time, ongoing evaluation and participation is necessary in order to guarantee the quality and suitability of the proposed treatment.

They provide an opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle (such as exercise and nutrition), and prompt notification of possible infectious complications 27,30 . The role of psychosocial screening through APN led care is a key responsibility where anticipated psychological and/or social concerns may impact adherence to prescribed interventions.…”
