MARTINEZ-ROJAS, Sandra Milena. Experience of the caregiver trained in peritoneal dialysis during the hospitalization of chronic kidney patients. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.4, pp.345-352. Epub 25-Ene-2021. ISSN 2255-3517. https://dx.doi.org/10.37551/s2254-28842020035.
Introduction:
The caregiver trained in peritoneal dialysis of the patient with chronic kidney disease must face the challenges of patient care, in addition to what is related to the performance of the dialysis therapy technique.
Objective:
To analyze the experience of the caregiver trained in peritoneal dialysis during hospitalization of chronic renal patients.
Material and Method:
Qualitative phenomenological approach in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 trained caregivers of relatives who were hospitalized in a health institution belonging to the renal unit. For the analysis and interpretation of the data, the ATLAS.ti program was used, which allowed coding, creating categories and subcategories.
Results:
Of the caregivers trained in peritoneal dialysis, 9 were women and 1 man, 6 in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis modality, 4 in automated peritoneal dialysis, 5 were admitted to the hospitalization service due to an infectious cause and 5 due to complications of the pathology. 527 citations were obtained from the different codes, resulting in 2 categories and 6 subcategories, which were: emotional exhaustion, physical exhaustion, psychological exhaustion, spiritual strength, lack of quality of services and development of care.
Conclusions:
The experience of the caregiver trained in peritoneal dialysis, during the hospitalization of chronic kidney disease, is that an overload is assumed affecting physical, psychological and emotional health, usually being compensated with the spiritual sphere. The skill of the trained caregiver in the hospitalization period and the lack of specialization of the health team are identified.
