Whatever the type and method of peritoneal dialysis, the practical and theoretical steps involved in this method must be explained to the patient by a nurse experienced in peritoneal dialysis.
Patients should use different teaching aids such as books and video tapes, making it easier for them to master the method used.
It should be taken into account that each patient is taught individually and the patient is not allowed to go home until he is fully confident that he can rely on himself to perform the peritoneal wash.
After the training, the patient is discharged from the hospital but continues to follow the case with the kidney and nurse unit doctor who is continuously responsible until the peritoneal wash becomes part of the patient's daily routine.
