Abstract
Objectives: Peritoneal dialysis requires mental and physical adjustments. The purpose of this chapter is to describe some of the psychosocial adaptations that patients and their families may make to adjust to a regimen of peritoneal dialysis (PD) at home.
Methods: Results from several PubMed searches were reviewed to identify relevant articles. Articles were chosen that included patient perspectives, described fundamental psychological patterns, or were novel and added to the existing literature.
Results: Recent emphasis on patient perspectives was present. Several studies detailed successful patient and caregiver coping strategies.
Conclusions. A growing body of evidence suggests that high-quality PD requires attention to the psychological and physical demands of completing PD treatments at home.
