Patient navigator programs may improve outcomes among individuals with chronic kidney disease by reducing barriers to evidence-based care. The NAVKIDS2 trial evaluated a patient navigation program among 162 children with chronic kidney disease from marginalized populations. The intervention was not associated with quantitative changes in self-reported health, but qualitative data indicated substantial benefit in alleviating caregiver strain and facilitating care coordination. Future studies should identify quantitative measures that capture the benefits experienced by patients in care coordination, empowerment, and self-management.

NAVKIDS2：将结果测量与干预措施相匹配的教训。


患者导航计划可以通过减少循证护理的障碍来改善慢性肾病患者的治疗结果。 NAVKIDS2 试验评估了 162 名来自边缘人群的患有慢性肾病的儿童的患者导航计划。该干预措施与自我报告的健康状况的定量变化无关，但定性数据表明，在减轻护理人员的压力和促进护理协调方面具有显着的益处。未来的研究应该确定量化措施，以捕捉患者在护理协调、赋权和自我管理方面所经历的益处。
