title: [Patient training in peritoneal dialysis: 1. Training in self care, cognitive study].
abstract: Authors consider education for dialytic patients a tool for patients' self-care and better quality of their life. In our Country the peritoneal dialysis involve 10% of the total dialytic population where the patient assumes a quite emerging role. The educational process is called training and the responsibility of the nurse is primarily important due to the trust and the consequential nurse-patient relationship. The article is divided in two parts: in the first, we explore the importance of the training as teaching methodology and in the second, we present the results of a national survey to better understand the role of the nurse and the methodology utilised in different Centers.
