Abstract

Objective: To describe the experience of the patients transitioning from haemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis.
Method: A phenomenological and qualitative study conducted with nine semi-structured interviews between September 2017 and May 2018. Inclusion criteria: Autonomy for peritoneal dialysis, change of substitutive renal therapy, and minimum permanence of two months in the previous and new renal therapies. Exclusion criteria: Home haemodialysis and psychic or cognitive impairment. A deductive-inductive codification paradigm revealed five main categories.
Results: The transition denoted separation from life depending on others and experimenting life changes, as well as adjustments to manage home therapy.
Conclusion: The experience mobilized resources to acquire a fluent and integrative identity, with a role being re-born characterized by personal satisfaction and responsibility in self-care.
