Abstract

Case description: A case report on unassisted automated peritoneal dialysis training in a patient with a severe acquired visual impairment is presented. Loss of vision occurred rapidly and progressively once the dialysis technique was chosen.


Description of the care plan: Five nursing diagnoses were identified: Deficient knowledge: Treatment, diet, hygiene in Peritoneal Dialysis; willingness to improve the management of the therapeutic regimen; visual and auditory sensory perception disorder; risk of fatigue in


the performance of the caregiver role; fear and risk of infection. A care plan that included an adapted training plan was designed.


Evaluation of the plan: An adequate management of the technique and the problems detected was achieved, achieving a positive change in all the NOCs established in the plan: Knowledge: Therapeutic procedures; Preparation for discharge: Independent living; Compliance behavior; Cognitive orientation; Hearing and visual compensation behavior; Well-being of the family caregiver; Knowledge: Health behaviors; Control of fear; Integrity of the peritoneal dialysis access and Risk control.


Conclusions: In our experience, peritoneal dialysis with targeted training constitutes an effective and safe renal replacement treatment option for people with visual impairment or blindness. The sum of small contributions will allow us to join forces that will help standardize protocols for the training of patients in special situations.
