Questionnaires
PD
Thirty-four parents/care givers of the 97 children described their experience of RRT (four CCVH (two Prismaflex and two Aquarius), 15 PD, and 15 NIDUS. Their responses were generally very positive and highlighted that the study information increased their understanding about their baby’s treatment. Most respondents found it acceptable to be asked to take part in a research study about pediatric RRT despite their child being so unwell and would be likely to recommend future parents to take part in similar research.Sixty-five staff questionnaires described the experience of delivering RRT to 43 of the 97 trial participants (18 PD, five CVVH [Aquarius], and 20 NIDUS)—with up to five responses, mostly nurses, per patient. There were no identified trends in responses, but most staff felt they had been adequately trained and felt confident using the particular dialysis delivery system. All systems used were considered equally user friendly.
