Özet
Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the kidney replacement therapies (KRT). Patients' choice of KRT is influenced by personal causes, familial factors, factors related to healthcare professionals, and social factors.Methods: This study included 341 patients. PD patients who changed their KRT selection were asked for the reasons to change with a questionnaire.Results: Of the patients who initially chose PD, only 48.5% received KRT by PD. Five (20%) of the patients gave up PD compulsorily because they heard that the risk of infection with PD was higher, eight (40%) thought they could not do it, four (20%) because they needed to do assisted PD but had no relatives to do it, and three (15%) because they had abdominal surgery.Conclusion: We believe that the fact that KRT training is carried out by a PD trained team and that patients are provided with assistance for PD will be effective in addressing the concerns of patients with PD undecided.
