    Psychosocial Care Needs of Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis Treatment: A Qualitative Study
    (Ataturk Univ, 2024) Ozyer Guvener, Yasemin; Gumustekin, Kubra
    Objective: This study was conducted to determine the psychosocial care needs of individuals undergoing hemodialysis. It is important to assess and identify the needs of this specific population. Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire form was used in the study and 12 participants were included in the study. This qualitative descriptive study has a phenomenological design. Results: In the study, 3 contexts, 6 themes and 38 sub-themes emerged. The contexts were as follows: problems developing due to the disease (complications and symptoms), healthcare-related needs (the health worker the patient wants to care for him or her, treatment- and care-related needs, the characteristics of the caregiver), and the mechanisms for coping with the disease (support systems and coping behaviours related to the disease). Conclusion: In the study, hemodialysis patients stated that they suffered many psychosocial and physical problems. Determining the psychosocial needs of hemodialysis patients and implementing related interventions can positively affect the course of the disease. Nurses assume the most important role in the determination of these psychosocial problems and implementation of the necessary interventions. Nurses have crucial roles and responsibilities in the care of dialysis patients. Effective nursing care can reduce disease-related side effects and improve patients' quality of life. Patient-centered care can improve the quality of dialysis care and patient satisfaction.
