Living with chronic kidney disease: future perspectives and prognostic needs of patients - a qualitative study
Our findings show that CKD patients experience a wide variety of emotions regarding their future. Despite conversations about their future taking place in nephrological practice, there remain unmet questions regarding the future. These results underline the importance of adopting a personalized approach when discussing the future with CKD patients, acknowledging and taking the diverse emotional responses and individual preferences into account.
