dc.description.abstractPeritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective and cost-efficient renal replacement therapy that enables patients to maintain their independence at home. Unfortunately, technique failure is common and social support is necessary for PD success. The objective of this mixed methods study was to understand the significance and meaning of support in the PD context. Having a support person had a protective effect against technique failure between 3 and 12 months from the onset of PD. Social support was an important part of the PD experience, however, social support needs varied and were dependent on existing support networks and individual perspectives of support. To sustain patients on PD, the breadth of social support needs must be understood by healthcare providers and individualized to the patient/family.en_US
