A tool for assessing the suitability of candidates for home dialysis (Jo-Pre-training Assessment Tool version 2.1 - JPAT) was developed, pilot-tested at one hospital and field-tested at two major teaching hospitals in Sydney. JPAT acts as a screening instrument to distinguish suitable candidates for the home dialysis programme, identifying patients with the greatest chance of learning to manage the programme. This study included an interview/test of home dialysis patients based on the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36). JPAT version 2.1 is in the form of an interview questionnaire consisting of 38 assessment items in six domains: physical stability, nutritional status, communication ability, ability to maintain self-care, psychological suitability and social support. Overall, results suggest that JPAT version 2.1 is sufficiently reliable to be used as a tool for assessing patients who suffer from end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and to identify patients most likely to succeed in a home dialysis programme.
开发了一种用于评估家庭透析候选人适用性的工具（居家预培训评估工具2.1版-JPAT），在一家医院进行了试点测试，并在悉尼的两家主要教学医院进行了现场测试。JPAT作为一种筛查工具，用于区分适合家庭透析项目的候选人，识别最有可能学会管理该项目的患者。本研究包括基于医学结局研究简表36项健康调查（SF-36）对家庭透析患者进行的访谈/测试。JPAT 2.1版采用访谈问卷的形式，由六个领域的38个评估项目组成：身体稳定性、营养状况、沟通能力、自我护理维持能力、心理适应性和社会支持。总体而言，结果表明，JPAT 2.1版具有足够的可靠性，可作为评估终末期肾病（ESRD）患者的工具，并识别最有可能在家庭透析项目中取得成功的患者。
