Experiences of Patients Living with Peritoneal Dialysis: A Descriptive Qualitative Study

Öz

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is a renal replacement therapy in which individuals themselves manage their treatment processes. During this treatment, patients who receive peritoneal dialysis go through a lot of experiences. Objectives: The study aims to describe the experiences of patients receiving peritoneal dialysis. Methods: This study used a qualitative descriptive design. In-depth face-to-face interviews with the participants (n = 16) were conducted using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: Three main themes emerged as a result of the content analyses: “experiences affecting adaptation”, “daily life activities”, and “emotional experiences”. Conclusion: Thanks to these learned experiences, nurses can give more individualized patient care. Arrangements can be made in areas that are difficult in daily life activities. Considering these experiences in patient care, they can facilitate the adaptation of the patient and help to cope with negative emotions.

Periton Diyalizi Uygulayan Hastaların Deneyimleri: Tanımlayıcı Kalitatif Çalışma

Öz

Giriş: Periton diyalizi bireylerin tedavi süreçlerini kendilerinin yönettiği bir renal replasman tedavisidir. Bu tedavi sırasında periton diyalizi uygulayan hastalar pek çok deneyim yaşamaktadırlar. Amaç: Bu çalışma, periton diyalizi alan hastaların deneyimlerini tanımlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı kalitatif bir çalışmadır. Katılımcılarla (n=16) yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile yüz yüze derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılarak veriler toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda “uyumu etkileyen deneyimler”, “günlük yaşam aktiviteleri” ve “duygusal deneyimler” olmak üzere üç ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonuç: Öğrenilen deneyimler sayesinde hemşireler daha bireyselleştirilmiş hasta bakımı verebilirler. Günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde zorlanılan alanlarda düzenlemeler yapılabilir. Hasta bakımında bu deneyimler dikkate alındığında hastanın uyumu kolaylaştırılabilir ve olumsuz duygularla baş etmesine yardımcı olunabilir.
