Introduction and relevance of study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a video to educate patients undergoing renal dialysis regarding the use of their health data to ultimately improve their data literacy. We wish to investigate this via the following objectives:
- to assess the impact of the content of a video to improve renal dialysis patients’ knowledge about their health data, informational rights, and social value of their health data;
- to evaluate participants’ perceptions about the suitability and usability of the video
For this purpose, we will follow a quasi-experimental study design which will allow us to assess whether a video presented to renal dialysis patients about their health data and the processing of this health data by public and/or private institutions, over a period of a month, increases their knowledge in this regard.
