A pre-training assessment tool for home dialysis.
Learning only occurs when one is ready to learn and involves a wide range of intellectual skills. A pre-training assessment is the foundation for all client care activities, especially for the success of a home training programme. This paper discusses the process of the development of a pre-training assessment tool for home dialysis, which acts as a screening instrument to identify suitable candidates for the home dialysis programme, and therefore serves to reinforce the chance of success with the learning.
