Decisional Conflicts in Kidney Replacement Therapy for Patients With Grade 5 Chronic Kidney Disease: A Qualitative Meta‐Synthesis
Patients with Grade 5 chronic kidney disease experience decisional conflicts, including severe negative emotions, insufficient awareness of kidney replacement therapy decision-making, insufficient or overwhelming information, and weak decision-making support. Healthcare professionals should be aware of these conflicts and offer personalised discussions to improve kidney replacement therapy decision-making in clinical practice.
