A longitudinal study on perceived burdensomeness and its influencing factors among older adult hemodialysis patients who migrated with their families in China

Targeted intervention measures should be formulated according to the patients' marital status, household registration, family income per capita, number of adult children, self-care ability, comorbidities, dialysis frequency and family support to improve the patients' perceived burdensomeness, mental health level and quality of life.
