This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an information-assisted intervention in enhancing knowledge, decision self-efficacy, and reducing decisional conflict among potential living kidney donors. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, participants will be recruited from the urology and kidney transplant outpatient clinics of two hospitals in northern Taiwan. After providing informed consent and completing a baseline questionnaire (T0), participants will receive a four-week information-assisted intervention in addition to routine care, with follow-up assessments at 4 weeks (T1) and 8 weeks (T2). Data will be collected using structured questionnaires assessing decisional conflict, decision self-efficacy, knowledge, positive thinking, family resilience, and satisfaction with the intervention.
