According to international guidelines, it is necessary to use simple training instructions with a practical approach in order to ensure high-quality education, incorporating individualized teaching strategies that combine visual and auditory resources.
Objective: To describe the characteristics of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) training program and the profile of the population served.
A retrospective analysis was conducted using a database of patients who received training at a peritoneal dialysis clinic that began operations in March 2025. Additionally, a questionnaire consisting of five questions was applied to the trained individuals: How many training sessions did you attend? How many people received the training? How many people handle the peritoneal dialysis system? What hand hygiene technique do you use?
From March 1 to September 1, 2025, a total of 196 PD training sessions were conducted, with an average of 28 sessions per month. The distribution by session number was as follows: first session 27%, second 25%, third 23%, fourth 19%, and fifth 6%. A questionnaire was completed by 60 trained individuals. The range of sessions attended was 1 to 5, with an average of 3 sessions per patient and approximately 12 accumulated training hours. Notably, on average, 2 people handled the peritoneal dialysis system without prior training. Regarding patients’ educational level, secondary school was the most common (24.5%), followed by primary school (21.9%).
The peritoneal dialysis training program achieved adequate coverage within a few months, with an average of three sessions per patient. However, system manipulation by untrained individuals persists, highlighting the need to expand and strengthen training to improve long-term outcomes.
