“…Compliant as compared to noncompliant HD patients have fewer family problems and receive more assistance from their spouses [7] and have better communication within the family [30], In addition, they report stronger family members' expectations of their compliance [14], less negative illness impact on family function [10], and have higher family functioning in executive and taskoriented roles [19], Positive stalT member evaluation of HD patients and realistic expectations of patient rehabil itation have also been associated with good compliance [3. 14.…”

Treatment Compliance in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Dialysis

This paper reviews the current knowledge concerning treatment compliance in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Adult hemodialysis patient noncompliance with the treatment regimen is very common. Objective and subjective measures of compliance, however, are often weakly correlated. In addition, the patients may be compliant with some aspects of the treatment regimen, but noncompliant with others. Unfortunately, no current model of predicting the degree of hemodialysis patient compliance is very accurate. In spite of this, behavioral approaches to increase regimen compliance do have at least short-term efficacy. There is a paucity of published data on compliance in adult peritoneal dialysis patients and an almost complete absence of systematic studies of compliance in children and adolescent dialysis patients. A multidimensional nosology of compliance behavior in ESRD patients is, therefore, proposed, as well as an approach to the diagnosis of noncompliance in ESRD patients and to possible interventions.

“…These processes were described with reference to patients with cancer, although they are likely to apply to patients with other chronic or fatal diseases including patients with ESKD. There has long been evidence of the continuous coping and adjustment challenges faced by patients with kidney failure and the impact of dialysis on self‐esteem, particularly in relation to feeling less capable and productive than before kidney failure 27,28 . We theorize that the accounts of more positive self‐identity and increased confidence provided by our participants reflected changes in their self‐esteem contributing to overall well‐being.…”

Background Increasing numbers of patients are receiving dialysis, particularly in high‐income countries. Patients receiving haemodialysis often experience fatigue, anxiety, depression and boredom. It is suggested that arts activities could have a therapeutic effect. Objective This study aimed to explore patients' perspectives of participating while on dialysis in chosen arts and creative living activities provided by tutors at the bedside. Design Qualitative semi‐structured interviews in the interpretive tradition were conducted, with thematic analysis. Setting and Participants Fifteen patients of different ages, genders and ethnicities who participated in an arts activity while receiving haemodialysis in an inner‐city dialysis unit in England were included in this study. Results Participants reported positive experiences of engaging in art activities. Their views on the value of the activities were grouped into five themes: diversion from receiving haemodialysis, a sense of achievement, contribution to a more positive self‐identity, increased confidence and motivation and a therapeutic talking relationship. Participants suggested that patient peer promotion of the activities could increase uptake, with patient choice of activity seen as important. Conclusions Participation in a chosen arts activity while receiving haemodialysis was perceived by patients to have positive psychosocial effects. We theorize three potential explanatory mechanisms for these effects: That the experience of participating in the activities engendered positive psychological states of ‘being in the flow’; enhanced self‐esteem to add to personal coping mechanisms; and offered additional facets to the patient's identity that countered the stigmatizing effect of receiving dialysis. Patient or Public Contribution Patients and public representatives advised on the design, research methods and tools.

“…When the patient is first referred for treatment, it would be helpful to have the family evaluated also. Sherwood (36) recommended that information should be provided on how the patient and family might cope with the new stressful situation of dialysis and that family conferences and multiple family groups be used.…”

This study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of dialysis for end-stage renal disease on the psychosocial status of patients and their families. Twenty-one dialysis patients were studied initially and seven to 14 months later with the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS), the Physician's Assessment Form (PAF), and the Family Environment Scale (FES). The FES was also given to a member of each patient's family. Over seven to 14 months, scores on the PAIS improved while those on the PAF did not change. The FES showed that patients improved while family members became worse. These results indicate the need for counseling of family members as well as patients.
