Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses significant global health challenges, including in Nepal, where the increasing need for hemodialysis are influencing patient's daily life. This study aimed to explore lived experiences of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: A qualitative, phenomenological research design was employed. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 hemodialysis patients at Bir Hospital from December, 2023 to January, 2024. Analysis followed Colaizzi's method, ensuring data quality through established credibility and transferability measures.

Results: Four major themes emerged: (i) Journey to receive hemodialysis (ii) Financial Constraints (iii) Psychosocial support (iv) Seeking for special health services. Patients perceived hemodialysis as a hope for existence but faced financial troubles and inadequate special and psychosocial support.

Conclusions: The lived experiences of the patients reflected both hope and challenges highlighting the need for improved health services and counseling in hemodialysis wards, along with enhanced governance in the healthcare system.

尼泊尔某三级医院慢性肾病患者血液透析的生活经验。
背景:慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)构成了重大的全球健康挑战,包括在尼泊尔,那里对血液透析需求的增加正在影响患者的日常生活。本研究旨在探讨CKD患者接受血液透析的生活经历。方法:采用定性、现象学研究设计。对2023年12月至2024年1月在Bir医院就诊的13例血液透析患者进行深度访谈。分析遵循Colaizzi的方法,通过建立可信度和可转移性措施来确保数据质量。结果:出现了四个主要主题:(一)接受血液透析的旅程(二)财政拮据(三)社会心理支持(四)寻求特殊保健服务。患者认为血液透析是生存的希望,但面临经济困难和缺乏特殊和社会心理支持。结论:患者的生活经历反映了希望和挑战,强调需要改善血液透析病房的卫生服务和咨询,以及加强医疗保健系统的管理。
