The experiences of people starting haemodialysis: A qualitative study
Background and Objective
Starting dialysis is a life-changing transition for people living with kidney disease. People feel overwhelmed with diet changes, medications and surgical interventions, and often experience high levels of anxiety, depression and hospital admissions. The objective of this study was to explore and describe the experiences and perspectives of people starting dialysis.
Study Design
Observational qualitative study using audio-recorded, individual, semi-structured interviews.
Participants
We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with English-speaking adults who were within 90 days of starting in-centre haemodialysis at centres of a nonprofit dialysis provider in Northern California.
Approach
Trained qualitative researchers conducted interviews that were deidentified and transcribed verbatim before being inductively coded into codes, categories, and themes.
Results
Three overarching themes emerged from the interviews. Being overwhelmed when starting dialysis, realises the emotional unpreparedness of patients starting dialysis and how the centre's environment (waiting and treatment areas) and staff behaviour impact the dialysis start experience. Making sense of it all, covers how the patient's symptoms, behaviour, and dialysis-related experiences impact the dialysis start. Moving forward, describes how education informed optimal decision-making, and can provide hope for a longer and better life.
Limitations
Predominantly college-educated participants were recruited from a single dialysis organisation which may limit the transferability of results.
Conclusion
Understanding the life-changing experiences that patients encounter when starting dialysis assist dialysis clinicians to help patients adjust and develop long-term coping strategies.
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.
