Updated evidence informing clinical care priority setting for CKD

The purpose of this research is to use a three-round Delphi survey to discern the priorities of adult health professionals and individuals with lived experience of chronic kidney disease, determining topics for updating evidence. Participation involves a 15-minute online survey conducted over three rounds, spaced one month apart, with de-identified data and the option to withdraw at any time.

The survey is for all Australian Registered Nurses, and focuses on nursing education, professional roles, and experiences caring for people with intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism (ASD). Findings from the survey will aim to build knowledge about nursing capacity to care for people with ID and/or ASD and improve future outcomes.
