    Empowering Self-Monitoring in Chronic Kidney Disease: An Evidence-Based Approach to Early Proteinuria Detection and Patient Education
    (Florida Southern College, 2026-07-06) Devero-Williams, Lara
    Education and early detection of proteinuria are essential for raising awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients in stages II, III, and IV. Enhancing patient knowledge about the significance of proteinuria detection can contribute to slowing CKD progression. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a pilot educational intervention on patient knowledge regarding CKD stages II–IV at a nephrology practice, using evidence-based materials from the 2024 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. A pre-test and post-test design measured changes in knowledge. A secondary aim was to assess participants’ ability to use a home urine protein test strip kit, including following instructions, interpreting color-coded results, and responding to related knowledge questions. Methods: This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) quality improvement project was informed by a comprehensive literature review and aimed to identify effective strategies for increasing patient knowledge, promoting early detection, and reducing proteinuria to slow disease progression.
