Conditions

Living kidney transplantation rates have been increasing and now even exceed those of deceased donor kidney transplantation in the Netherlands (Roodnat, et al., 2009). However, there is inequality in access to the living kidney donation program between European and the non-European patients. In our center we have 44% non-European patients with terminal kidney failure who are on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney. However, these patients represent only 17% of the patients in the living

Interventions

Patients will receive the study information after their second consultation with the nephrologist at the outpatient pre-transplantation clinic. The intervention consists primarily of two sessions at t

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The participants consist of kidney patients from the Rotterdam region who are new to the outpatient pre-transplantation clinic (incidence cases) or who are already on the EuroTransplant waiting list (prevalence cases).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: We will only include patients without a living donor and patients and family/friends who are 18 years or over.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary parameters of the intervention are derived from the ASE-Model. This model is based on the theory of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) of Fishbein and Ajzen (19) and is supplemented by elements from the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) of Bandura (20). The ASE-Model has a wide scientific acceptance and represents a theoretical framework for explaining behaviour by connecting attitude, social influence, self-efficacy, knowledge, skills (communication), and barriers and resources (risk perception) to intention and behaviour.	—
