BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health issues in Pakistan, exerting notable effects on both the physical and mental well-being of individuals undergoing haemodialysis. Of particular concern to healthcare professionals is the potential adverse influence of haemodialysis on the lives of patients with CKD residing in rural areas of the country. This study will explore and describe the lived experiences and needs of patients with CKD receiving haemodialysis from the perspectives of patients and their family caregivers.Methods and analysisTranscendental phenomenological research design will be used. Participants will be recruited from the dialysis centre of a tertiary hospital through purposive sampling based on specific inclusion criteria. In-depth unstructured interviews, observation and document analysis will be the methods for data collection. Data will be analysed using Colaizzi’s approach following the transcription of the interviews.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University, Pakistan (IRB # 0307–23) and written permission was obtained from the administration of the study hospital. Before giving written and verbal consent, all participants will receive detailed information about the study. Participants will maintain the freedom to withdraw from the study at any point. Confidentiality of the participants will be ensured. The study findings will be disseminated to important stakeholders and published in scientific papers and conference proceedings.

The life experiences of children with cancer and their parents as individuals have been well documented in literature. However, little is known about their experiences as child–parent dyads in Pakistan regarding these children’s quality of life. Thus, the study was conducted in the context of the family-centric society of Pakistan. In-depth interviews were conducted with 28 participants (14 child–parent dyads), comprising 9 female and 5 male children receiving cancer treatment and 8 mothers and 6 fathers (primary caregivers). All the participants were Muslims and hailed from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and most belonged to middle socioeconomic backgrounds. Thematic analysis was performed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) framework, which revealed four themes: (1) Stress, Fears, and Optimism; (2) Reactions to Restrictions; (3) Adaptation and Coping; and (4) Support Structure and Mechanisms. The findings indicated that children’s and parents’ daily lives were affected in various ways during the children’s cancer journey. They faced several challenges which impacted their well-being. Particularly, the children considered their symptoms as restrictions in the way of carrying out their routine lives. However, children and parents also elaborated on using different coping strategies, such as play, reminiscing the past, incorporating religious practices into their daily routines, and keeping a family-centred approach towards the child’s care. The parents also recommended that cancer-specialised services and support groups should be accessible. Conclusively, these findings are useful for healthcare providers in giving family-centred care to afflicted families and devising innovative interventions that address the needs of children with cancer and improve their quality of life.
