Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective home treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), known for improving quality of life, offering more independence, and being cost-effective compared to in-center hemodialysis, yet its global adoption is low and inconsistent.
- This systematic review aims to analyze qualitative studies to identify factors that affect the adoption of PD, focusing on the experiences of patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
- A thorough search of databases will be conducted to gather relevant qualitative research, which will then be assessed for quality and synthesized to highlight barriers and facilitators to PD adoption.
