Quality of life in older immigrant adults on hemodialysis
The study underscores the need for culturally competent care that integrates social, emotional, and spiritual support to improve the QoL of older immigrant adults on hemodialysis. The findings suggest that CKD care must extend beyond biomedical factors to include sociocultural and spiritual dimensions. The results emphasize the importance of holistic healthcare approaches that respect cultural values and provide support systems to enhance the QoL of this vulnerable group.
