Abstract
Healthcare Professionals' Beliefs and Attitudes Toward Home Hemodialysis
Highlights
Global interest in home hemodialysis (HHD) has been increasing recently because of its clinical benefits and flexibility [1,2,3]
It was found that conversion from conventional hemodialysis to frequent or extended hemodialysis contributes to improvement in cardiac morphology and function, as well as blood pressure parameters [9]
All the healthcare professionals who were working in a nephrology clinic of a training hospital in Turkey were included in this study
Summary
Global interest in home hemodialysis (HHD) has been increasing recently because of its clinical benefits and flexibility [1,2,3]. More frequent or extended HHD is associated with survival benefits and enhanced quality of life [4,5,6,7,8]. A limited number of studies have examined the healthcare professionals’ beliefs and attitudes toward HHD [10,11,12,13]. There is no study investigating this issue among Turkish healthcare professionals.
