“…home HD) to one that is less so has received some study. Lowry and Atcherson [8] reported on 12 couples who started home HD training and who returned to center HD as compared to a much larger number of couples who stayed on home HD. The former had more symptoms of anxiety or depression and more relationship conflicts at the time of beginning the home HD training.…”

This paper reviews the current knowledge concerning treatment compliance in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Adult hemodialysis patient noncompliance with the treatment regimen is very common. Objective and subjective measures of compliance, however, are often weakly correlated. In addition, the patients may be compliant with some aspects of the treatment regimen, but noncompliant with others. Unfortunately, no current model of predicting the degree of hemodialysis patient compliance is very accurate. In spite of this, behavioral approaches to increase regimen compliance do have at least short-term efficacy. There is a paucity of published data on compliance in adult peritoneal dialysis patients and an almost complete absence of systematic studies of compliance in children and adolescent dialysis patients. A multidimensional nosology of compliance behavior in ESRD patients is, therefore, proposed, as well as an approach to the diagnosis of noncompliance in ESRD patients and to possible interventions.

“…Although haemodialysis sessions are time-consuming and unpleasant, serial non-attendance is relatively rare as missing only a few consecutive sessions may endanger life.13 However, non-adherence to medication and fluid-diet restrictions is a concern in end stage renal disease (ESRD). 14 The recent development of valid and reliable methods for assessing patients' views about their illness15 and treatment11 facilitates further systematic study of treatment beliefs and adherence in haemodialysis recipients. Using these approaches, this exploratory, cross-sectional study was undertaken to quantify the range of haemodialysis patients' beliefs about medication and fluid-diet restrictions and to investigate which particular beliefs correlate with adherence to particular treatments.…”

Objectives — To assess haemodialysis patients' beliefs about treatment and to investigate which beliefs correlate with adherence to medication and fluid‐diet restrictions. Methods — Forty‐seven haemodialysis patients receiving intermittent hospital haemodialysis completed questionnaires assessing their beliefs about medication and fluid‐diet restrictions. Key findings — Adherence rates varied between and within patients, and were related to specific treatment beliefs in a logically consistent way. Reported intentional non‐adherence to medication correlated with concerns about the potential adverse effects of renal medication. Low adherence to fluid‐diet restrictions (assessed by inter‐dialysis weight gain) was associated with the personal belief that the restrictions were too strict. Most patients (90 per cent) agreed that medicines prescribed for their renal condition were necessary for maintaining health. However, 32 per cent harboured concerns about their medication, arising from beliefs about the potential for dependence, long‐term effects, or disruption of life. Concerns about renal medication correlated with more general beliefs that medicines as a whole are harmful, addictive poisons which are overused by doctors. Although specific treatment beliefs (medication or fluid‐diet restrictions) were related to specific adherence behaviours, these two areas of beliefs and behaviours were unrelated. Conclusions — Patients' perceptions of treatment merit further study. Eliciting and addressing patients' perceptions of treatment may be a target for pharmaceutical care and a foundation for partnership in medicine‐taking.
