Chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis is often associated with stress, depression, and major lifestyle changes. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore patients' experiences of living with CKD. A non-random purposeful sampling strategy was used to recruit 10 patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis, from a tertiary care hospital in Crete, Greece. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with open-ended questions aiming to assess different aspects of their life after CKD diagnosis. Four main themes were revealed portraying participants' experience, including facing a new reality, 2) confronting changes, 3) finding ways to cope, and 4) continuing life.
