Abstract
Background: Patients awaiting kidney transplantation need to be prepared ahead of
the upcoming transplantation by developing targeted pre- and post-transplant
knowledge. On this background, we designed a new health literacy intervention,
including a film and a counselling session, based on motivational interviewing for
dialysis patients provided by dialysis nurses.
Aim: To explore patients' and nurses' experiences of the feasibility and acceptability
of the intervention, focusing on the patient as a prepared knowledge actor.
Design: An explorative qualitative study.
Participants and Methods: Data included in-depth interviews with nine patients and
three nurses who participated in the intervention. The interviews were audiotaped and
analysed following Kvale and Brinkmann's method for thematic data analysis.
Findings: Three main themes were identified: a different kind of health intervention
stimulating new insight; a challenging kind of health conversation and changed
relationships and increased security.
Conclusions: Both the patients and the nurses had an overall positive attitude
toward the intervention, providing a kind of dialogue to prepare dialysis patients
going through kidney transplantation. The nurses found the MI methodology to be
challenging. When introducing a comprehensive communication method like MI,
potential training and supervision needs for the nurses must be addressed
