Identifying Needs for Self-management Interventions for Adults With CKD and Their caregivers: A Qualitative study

摘要

Rationale & Objective: Fostering the ability of patients to self-manage their chronic kidney disease (CKD), with support from caregivers and providers, may slow disease progression and improve health outcomes. However, little is known about such patients' needs for self-management interventions. We aimed to identify and describe the needs of adults with CKD and informal caregivers for CKD self-management support.
