Summary
Brief summary
The rates of chronic kidney disease are increasing rapidly. Home dialysis is believed to offer better survival, quality of life and is not as expensive as hospital dialysis. Despite this the rates of home dialysis are low and in some countries like NZ declining. This research explores patient and caregivers perceptions of what influences their decision about whether they choose home or hospital dialysis. We will firstly interview patients to determine these factors and then we will send surveys based on what we find in the patient and caregiver interview so we can determine what factors patients and caregivers are more influential in this decision making process.
