Using the helping relationships from significant others (HRSO) scale assists patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), in adopting a healthy lifestyle to decelerate disease progression, complications, and mortality.

Principal axis factor analysis and a promax rotation revealed a 15-item, three-factor explanation of 68.
