Educational Interventions on Chronic Kidney Disease for Care Home Staff: An Empty Scoping Review

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent among older adults, particularly those living in care homes, where early identification and effective management are essential to improving outcomes. Aim: This scoping review aimed to explore and map educational interventions designed to support care home staff in the prevention, assessment, and management of CKD. Methods: A scoping review (ScR) was conducted and guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for ScR (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. A systematic search of six major databases was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Results: A total of 6599 records were identified and 5573 titles and abstracts were screened; 10 full texts were assessed, but no studies met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: This empty review highlights a significant gap in the literature and reinforces the need for targeted research to develop and evaluate training interventions for care home staff managing residents with CKD.
