Patients with end-stage renal disease face complex choices regarding dialysis versus transplant and home versus clinic care. Renal nurses play a vital role in supporting informed decisions for personalized renal replacement therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Renal Medicine
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) confront critical treatment decisions.
  • Options include renal transplant, home dialysis, or clinic-based treatments like peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis (HD).
  • Key considerations involve patient independence, lifestyle, and treatment modality preferences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the complex decision-making process for patients with ESRD regarding renal replacement therapy.
  • To highlight the importance of patient information and caregiver support in choosing between dialysis modalities and settings.
  • To emphasize the role of the renal nurse in facilitating informed patient choices.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of patient and caregiver decision-making factors in ESRD.

  • Review of treatment options including peritoneal dialysis (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis - CAPD) and haemodialysis (HD).
  • Exploration of self-care models in dialysis, including home-based and limited-care settings.

    • Main Results:

    • Patient preference for self-care, independence, and freedom of movement influences treatment choices.
    • Home-based dialysis (PD or HD) can offer a less stressful environment and better quality of life.
    • Limited-care centers and satellite units can provide security while promoting self-care.

    Conclusions:

    • Informed decision-making for ESRD patients requires comprehensive information and robust caregiver support.
    • Personalized renal replacement therapy, emphasizing patient autonomy and self-care, is crucial.
    • Shifting dialysis care from costly hospital settings to home or satellite units is desirable for patient well-being and healthcare economics.
