Psychosocial distress in patients with end‐stage kidney disease

SUMMARY This is the first paper in a two‐part Continuing Education (CE) series focusing on psychosocial care of patients with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD), which addresses a variety of psychological responses experienced by patients when adapting to the challenges posed by living with this long‐term condition. The second paper will examine further the issues of coping and adjustment to ESKD and the need for renal supportive care to ensure person‐centred holistic care is provided to patients.
