Abstract
Background
Patients undergoing haemodialysis require long-term treatment and suffer from physical limitations and emotional distress due to restrictions in daily life, such as food and fluid restrictions, which can lead to self-criticism and depression. To address these issues, the concept of self-compassion, which is important for patients undergoing haemodialysis, has gained attention.
Objective
This study aimed to identify self-compassion in patients undergoing haemodialysis.
Design
This is an interview-based qualitative study.
Participants
Participants were recruited from a regional general hospital in Japan between August and September 2022. They were ≥18-year-old patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease and visited the hospital for maintenance haemodialysis. Fifteen patients who agreed to participate in the study were interviewed.
Approach
Semistructured interviews were conducted, and each interview was recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was conducted using reflecxive thematic analysis (TA).
Findings
Thematic analysis generated three themes—acceptance, affirmation, and reinvention—from the seven subthemes. A different concept, “reinvention”, has been generated in this study. Regarding the sequential nature of the themes, it was predicted that they would proceed in the order of acceptance, affirmation, and reinvention, moving back and forth through these stages.
Conclusions
It can be said that nurses can support patients undergoing haemodialysis by providing feedback to them about their thoughts and feelings, which were captured based on the themes and subthemes of this study, to promote the patients' awareness and increase their self-compassion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Care (JORC), formally EDTNA/ERCA Journal, is the official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Nursing Association/European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA).
The Journal of Renal Care is an international peer-reviewed journal for the multi-professional health care team caring for people with kidney disease and those who research this specialised area of health care. Kidney disease is a chronic illness with four basic treatments: haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis conservative management and transplantation, which includes emptive transplantation, living donor & cadavaric transplantation. The continuous world-wide increase of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) means that research and shared knowledge into the causes and treatment is vital to delay the progression of CKD and to improve treatments and the care given.
The Journal of Renal Care is an important journal for all health-care professionals working in this and associated conditions, such as diabetes and cardio-vascular disease amongst others. It covers the trajectory of the disease from the first diagnosis to palliative care and includes acute renal injury. The Journal of Renal Care accepts that kidney disease affects not only the patients but also their families and significant others and provides a forum for both the psycho-social and physiological aspects of the disease.
