“…These findings closely align with other studies involving people requiring maintenance HD where adaptive coping such as accepting dialysis as a lifestyle change and a flexible mindset helped patients overcome the challenges of being physically active. 31 , 32 The findings are also in accord with The World Kidney Day Steering Committee advocacy for the inclusion of life participation as a health care goal in CKD. 33 …”

“…Patients must visit the hospital 2–3 times per week for 4–5 hours of HD, during which they must lie in a hospital bed. 48 The restrictions on the patient’s life, body, and time are so pronounced that the patient is referred to as being “on duty” without vacation. This treatment mode feels like “being tied to a machine” for the patients.…”

Background Learned helplessness (LH) is a common psychological phenomenon among chronic disease patients. However, LH remains underrecognized in the context of maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients. This qualitative study is the first study of this topic to be conducted in a Chinese cultural context, and its purpose is to explore the LH experiences of MHD patients and to highlight their interpretations of LH. Methods We employed a qualitative research design. A purposive sampling method was used to recruit participants. The sample size was determined by data saturation. Data were obtained from MHD patients in a blood purification centre located in Hunan Province, China. Data were collected from June to September 2022. The researchers conducted in-depth, semistructured interviews with participants after obtaining informed consent. Texts were transcribed verbatim from the audio recordings of these interviews. Data processing and analysis were based on Giorgi’s phenomenological approach. Results Twenty-two respondents completed the interviews (aged 29–75 years, including ten females and twelve males). Four themes emerged from the interviews: (1) triggers of helplessness (hope is gone; witnessing renal friends’ helplessness; out of control; nothing works); (2) being tied down (limitation; perceived loss; social isolation; giving in); (3) I am just a loser (self-image disorder; low self-concept; negative attitudes; guilt; abandonment); (4) alive day is the day (fatalism; my duty; downwards comparison). Conclusion The study reveals that multiple stressors drive MHD patients’ LH. These salient phenomena demonstrate the importance of recognizing MHD patients’ LH. We suggest that support services should be developed alongside a framework that addresses MHD patients’ LH from the beginning of treatment.

“…While these prior studies examined the broad range of responsibilities borne by care partners, our study focused specifically on the responsibilities linked to mobility issues. Although the limited mobility of older adults receiving hemodialysis has been previously documented, 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 to our knowledge, the impact of this limited mobility on care partner responsibilities has not been previously explored.…”
