Topics, Delivery Modes, and Social-Epistemological Dimensions of Web-Based Information for Patients Undergoing Renal Transplant and Living Donors During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Content Analysis

Abstract: Background The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly affected renal transplant care. During this time of social distancing, limited in-person visits, and uncertainty, patients and donors are relying more than ever on telemedicine and web-based information. Several factors can influence patients’ understanding of web-based information, such as delivery modes (instruction, interaction, and assessment) and social-epistemological dimensions (choices in interactive knowledge building). … Show more

“…In this study, kidney transplant patients who had a high level of fear of COVID-19 were included in the experimental and control groups, and in several studies, it is seen that the fear of COVID-19 is high in transplant patients [ 7 , 32 , 33 ]. It is thought that the high level of fear in transplant patients is related to the easy contagiousness of COVID-19, its prevalence, relationship with level of immunity, and the continued increase in mortality rates [ 7 , 32 , 33 ]. Cellular immunity plays an important role in COVID-19.…”

“…Transplant patients whose immune system is suppressed as a result of long-term use of immunosuppression become a potential risk group for COVID-19. Due to its rapid spread and serious morbidity and mortality, COVID-19 generates a significant fear in society [ 1 , 3 , 7 , 19 , 32 ].…”

“…If their partner is not aware of this, it is possible that hemodialysis patients will experience a decrease in quality of life because they have the perception that they are no longer able to meet the sexual needs for both the patient and his partner. This inability to fulfill sexual needs can trigger problems in the family and in the end can result in the quality of the marital relationship they have [32].…”

“…What is meant by active learning is that "all students are required to be involved in the learning process" (Bennett and Raymond, 2019, p.89;Healy and Smyth, 2017), and passive learning may be identified as "traditional lectures… and activities where the teacher facilitates the transfer of knowledge". Because virtual learning is a new-fangled realm for traditional tertiary institutions, those institutions are going to encounter serious challenges as the teachers may find it difficult to thwart passive education in the online world of teaching, needless to say that the textbook material itself was not primarily made for e-learning (Malhotra, 2020;Van Klaveren et al, 2020). This detriment may cause the students to lose zest for the material they are being taught.…”
