Advancing Ethical Standards in Kidney Care – Uniting Voices for Transparency, Patient-Centered Policies, and Accountability in Renal Health | Championing Ethical Reform in Dialysis Care
Implementing the Wraparound Process for Comprehensive Dialysis Care The #Wraparound process, typically utilized as a behavioral case management tool, offers a unique perspective that can be highly beneficial when applied to #nephrology and #dialysis patient care. Traditionally focused on supporting individuals with complex behavioral and #psychological needs, the Wraparound approach's holistic, team-based #methodology can address the multifaceted requirements of dialysis patients. This perspective is especially valuable in nephrology, where patient care often involves intricate coordination of medical, psychological, and social support services. By adopting the Wraparound process, the nephrology community can provide more integrated, patient-centered care, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. The foundation of the Wraparound process is its team-based structure. A multidisciplinary team, including nephrologists, #nurses, $dietitians, social workers, and mental health professionals, collaborates to address all aspects of the patient's needs. This collective effort ensures that no facet of the patient's care is overlooked, promoting a more integrated treatment plan. Personalized care plans are central to the Wraparound approach. For dialysis patients, this involves tailoring medical management, psychological support, and social resources to the individual’s specific needs. Customized dialysis schedules, medication regimens, and ongoing counseling are developed to support the patient's health and well-being comprehensively, ensuring that their unique circumstances are taken into account. Emphasizing the patient's strengths and resources is a key component of the Wraparound process. In the context of dialysis care, this means empowering patients through education about their condition, encouraging active participation in their treatment, and leveraging their support networks. This approach fosters resilience and engagement in their own care. Cultural competence ensures that care plans respect and incorporate the patient's cultural background. For dialysis patients, this might involve using culturally appropriate communication, respecting dietary preferences, and understanding cultural attitudes toward illness and treatment. This respect and inclusion can significantly enhance patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans. The Wraparound process is inherently flexible and adaptable, allowing care plans to evolve with the patient's changing needs. For dialysis patients, this means regularly reassessing and adjusting care strategies, accommodating personal schedules, and providing continuous support through home visits and telehealth services. This adaptability ensures that the patient’s needs are met over time. #Dialysis #ESRD #ESKD #CKD #PD #DialysisNurse #HemoNurse #KidneyFailure #KidneyDisease #PatientCentricity #Strategy #DialysisTech #MedicalStrategy #WraparoundCare

Reflection on Poor Service User Care Introduction We must provide high-quality care to our care home residents as registered nurses. Reflecting on my recent experience with a particularly poorly service user, I want to identify successes and areas for improvement to improve care. First Assessment and Needs Identification The service user's deteriorating condition prompted a thorough assessment of vital signs, pain levels, and physical and emotional state. I communicated clearly and compassionately with the Service User, asking about their symptoms and concerns to understand their immediate needs and preferences. Maintenance of accurate and complete documentation is essential for ongoing care and team communication. Plan and execute care Individualised Care Plan: After the assessment, I created a care plan for the service user's medication, hydration, nutrition, and pain management. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Worked with doctors, physiotherapists, and dietitians to provide holistic care to service users. Family Involvement: Kept the service user's family informed and involved in the care process, considering their concerns. Monitoring/Evaluation Monitoring: Regularly assessed the service user's condition and adjusted the care plan based on treatment response. Feedback Loop: Encouraged service users, their families, and colleagues to provide feedback on care gaps and improvements. Outcome Evaluation: Assessed the service user's condition after care interventions and any ongoing issues. Obstacles and Lessons Managing Symptoms: Reviewed pain management protocols and medication regimens to manage the service user's complex symptoms. Resource Limitations: Staffing shortages hindered one-on-one care. Emotional Support: The service user expressed anxiety and depression related to their condition and needed more emotional support. Enhanced professional development by attending palliative care and pain management training to better serve underserved clients. Reflective Practice: Discussed care delivery improvements with colleagues in reflective practice sessions. Peer Support: Created an emotional and professional support system for staff handling difficult cases. Conclusion My experience with a poorly service user has shown me the importance of comprehensive assessment, individualised care planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration. To improve care for all service users, I monitor and evaluate care and address challenges through professional development. This reflection will help us learn from each experience and improve our caregiving.

To think that I began my Nursing Career in Nephrology Nursing in 2002 and these statistics are what they are 22 years later, is absolutely mind boggling. In 2000, the Healthy People 2010 had 28 focus areas, with CKD being on the list. This is where we are????????? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as 9 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) do not know they have it. Additionally, about 1 in 3 adults with severe CKD (stage 4) are unaware they have the condition. Other sources corroborate these statistics: Around 90% of people who have CKD are unaware they have it, and 2 out of 5 adults with CKD don't know they have severe chronic kidney disease. Despite the prevalence of kidney disease in the United States, as many as 9 in 10 adults who have CKD are not aware they have the disease. The key reasons cited for this lack of awareness are that early-stage CKD usually has no symptoms, and many people don't know they have it until it is very advanced. The Answer: Routine screening and early detection are important to identify CKD before it progresses to later stages.

Virtual Human Technology Reveals Gaps in Pediatric Pain Management A recent study in South Korea, utilizing virtual human technology, revealed significant disparities in pain assessment between pediatric nurses and nursing students. Led by researchers examining 51 pediatric nurses from a tertiary hospital and 50 senior nursing students, the study used virtual child scenarios to evaluate pain scores and treatment decisions. The findings showed that while both groups underestimated pain compared to actual reports, nurses consistently rated pain higher and prescribed more medication than students, reflecting their clinical experience. The study, emphasizing the need for better training tools like virtual human technology, highlights the importance of addressing gaps in pain management education to improve pediatric care.

Advancing Ethical Standards in Kidney Care – Uniting Voices for Transparency, Patient-Centered Policies, and Accountability in Renal Health | Championing Ethical Reform in Dialysis Care
Dialysis patients carry a psychological burden that many healthcare professionals—techs, nurses, social workers, and even nephrologists—often fail to see. These triggers are subtle, hidden beneath layers of forced resilience. Patients mask their anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness because the “carousel of care” in dialysis clinics leaves no room for disruption. The constant rotation of patients in and out of clinics isn’t just a system; it’s a factory model set by Large Dialysis Organizations (LDOs), where efficiency is prized over genuine patient care. Patients fear speaking up because they don’t want to interfere with this process, and in doing so, they suffer in silence. Here’s the truth: thousands of patients are battling mental health issues—depression, anxiety, trauma from years of treatments—but they don’t dare voice it. Why? Because the system isn’t built to listen. Where is the so-called patient-centered care when the very triggers that push patients deeper into despair go unnoticed by staff? Nurses, techs, and social workers are not trained to detect these emotional cues. Nephrologists? Absent. The subtle flinches, the avoidance of eye contact, the unspoken fatigue from years of treatments—these are not part of their training. Why? Because mental health awareness isn’t built into the renal care system. It’s too costly, too “disruptive” for the value-based care models that prioritize cutting costs over addressing patient needs. 💡 Let’s be real: training dialysis staff to pick up on psychological triggers is not a priority because it threatens the profit margins of insurance companies and nephrologists. This system is twisted, pretending to be patient-centered when it’s nothing more than a conveyor belt of neglect. Who is responsible for teaching staff to notice these signs? Oh, right. If not the LDOs, then who? Maybe the Easter Bunny? The staff is left to fend for themselves, and ultimately, patients are left to fend for themselves. 📉 Dialysis staff, whether they like it or not, are failing patients. But the fault doesn’t lie entirely with them—it’s the system of poor policies and lack of accountability. Staff aren’t just overlooking mental health; they’re directed to abide by the status quo of herding patients in and out, and anything that disrupts the rhythm isn’t welcomed. Mental health awareness is practically absent in clinics, yet it’s desperately needed. The truth is that patients are suffering in silence, trapped in a system that prioritizes cutting costs over care. This isn’t bitterness; it’s fact. So, where’s the training? Where’s the accountability? Where’s the patient-centered care we’re all promised? It’s nowhere to be found. Until we address these deep-rooted issues, #dialysis will remain an industry of profit over people. #MentalHealthMatters #DialysisReform #PatientCenteredCare #HealthcareNeglect #SilentSuffering #BreakTheCycle #ESRD #PsychologicalTriggers #MentalHealthReform
