Self-Management of Chronic Illness in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: The Role of Individual Factors and Adaptation to Illness

Key takeaways

This study of people on hemodialysis looked at what makes some patients better at managing their own illness, things like taking medicines, watching fluids and keeping appointments. It found that how well a person had come to terms with being ill was tied to how well they managed their care. This is observational, so it shows a link and cannot prove that changing one's outlook improves self-management. The published record does not give the number of patients, so the strength of the link is unclear.
