| [ Summary ] |
An increasing number of elderly people are living alone, and dialysis patients are no exception. Changes in physical condition greatly impact the quality of life for dialysis patients who live alone. Nurses work to prevent complications by providing stable dialysis regimens together with doctors and biomedical equipment technicians, in providing self-care support to patients. Nurses also work in coordination with various service providers associated with care managers and patients to provide support so that patients can safely live alone without difficulty. In cases where nurses are in contact with the family, regular interviews are important. |
