Abstract: Transition onto haemodialysis is a time of increased psychosocial difficulty, yet, many renal patients exhibit personal resilience in continuing to lead productive lives.

“…Con este tejido discursivo las personas fabrican autointerpretaciones y explicaciones sobre la enfermedad y el cuidado, facilitando el afrontamiento (27) y la adherencia (44,79). Los artículos describen que las personas acuden a recursos como: lazos afectivos y relaciones de cercanía con el equipo de salud, temor a la muerte, fe y esperanza para afrontar su enfermedad y adherirse al tratamiento (35,56,74,(80)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85)(86). El acompañamiento de la familia se convierte en un pilar para hacer frente a las transformaciones y dolencias; estos lazos afectivos se reconocen como la red principal (84).…”

En un segundo plano están los lazos afectivos y las relaciones que establecen con el personal de salud, especialmente con las enfermeras (82,83,85).…”
