Sumario:Nurses and other healthcare clinicians can apply patient engagement into their clinical practice to improve the care they provide to their patients. The purpose of this article is to discuss a quality improvement initiative aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of patient engagement among clinicians who work with patients who have chronic kidney disease. A quantitative pretest posttest approach was used in the project. Nine clinicians participated in the project, and the results showed that clinicians' knowledge and awareness about patient engagement increased from a mean pretest score of 5.22 to a mean posttest score of 6.22, (p = 0.08617). The outcome of the project was the development of a Microsoft® PowerPoint presentation and an e-learning module for clinicians to learn about and apply the principles of patient engagement to their clinical practice.
