| dc.description | Kara Schick Makaroff is a Post Doctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta. Her research focus is on quality of life for people living with chronic and life-threatening illness, particularly chronic kidney disease. Her research interests also include ethics, mixed methods research, and electronic capture of research data. Her funding is from KRESCENT (Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training), a program developed and supported by CIHR, Kidney Foundation of Canada, and Canadian Society of Nephrology. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Given the need for integration of patient reported outcomes into research, electronic capture of patients’ reports of their health are important aspects of clinical research initiatives. In this presentation, I will discuss a pilot study undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of administering patients’ reports on their health-related quality of life using iPads in outpatient home dialysis clinics. Methodological challenges will be raised for further discussion. | en_US |
