What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how an information-assisted intervention can help potential living kidney donors improve their knowledge, confidence in making decisions, and reduce uncertainty about donation. The study uses a one-group pretest-posttest design and recruits participants from urology and kidney transplant outpatient clinics of two hospitals in northern Taiwan. Participants who have completed medical evaluations and return for follow-up visits will first complete a baseline questionnaire. They will then receive a four-week information-assisted intervention that includes educational materials like illustrations, mind maps, and tables, along with consultation sessions with transplant team members. Follow-up assessments will occur at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the baseline. Throughout the study, participants will complete structured questionnaires measuring decisional conflict, decision self-efficacy, knowledge about living kidney donation, positive thinking, family resilience, and satisfaction with the program. The study tracks these outcomes to understand the intervention's impact. The total participation period is 8 weeks following the initial assessment.
