Abstract
The risk of peritonitis complications in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) can be prevented or reduced by providing proper education and continuous monitoring. Telemedicine and telemonitoring are methods that enable remote monitoring and patient care. This study aimed to determine the success and factors affecting telemonitoring in CAPD patient care. This study is a scoping review (ScR) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-ScR method. Article searches were carried out on ProQuest, PubMed, and ScienceDirect with a time range of 2018–2023. Data extraction was performed regarding knowledge level, quality of life, clinical outcomes (peritonitis), and risk of hospitalization. Of the 12 articles and studies included, 6 articles were related to the effect of telemonitoring on CAPD patient outcomes, and 6 articles were associated with the effect of education on CAPD patient outcomes. Education provided to patients can improve patient understanding of therapeutic modalities for renal disorders, reduce the potential for peritonitis and dialysis complications, and improve the quality of life of patients with CAPD. CAPD patients who received telemonitoring had a better quality of life, good clinical outcomes, and a lower risk of hospitalization than those who did not receive telemonitoring and had fewer health-care visits. In summary, the implementation of telemonitoring and education in chronic kidney disease patients with CAPD modality therapy has been proven effective in improving quality of life and reducing dialysis-related risks.
