    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Psychology
    • Patient Care

    Background:

    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a renal replacement therapy.
    • While CAPD can enhance patient autonomy, it may negatively impact body image perception.
    • Psychosocial support is crucial for patients undergoing CAPD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the psychosocial impact of CAPD on patients.
    • To highlight the importance of peer support in adapting to CAPD.
    • To emphasize the role of nursing in preparing patients for CAPD.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of patient experiences with CAPD.
    • Review of existing literature on body image and CAPD.
    • Assessment of nursing interventions for CAPD patients.

    Main Results:

    • CAPD facilitates independence but can lead to body image concerns.
    • Social support, particularly from peers with similar experiences, can mitigate negative psychological effects.
    • Adequate pre-treatment education and ongoing nursing support are essential.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective patient preparation by nurses is critical for successful CAPD adaptation.
    • Addressing body image concerns and fostering peer connections can improve quality of life for CAPD patients.
    • Multifaceted support is necessary to optimize outcomes for individuals on CAPD.
