Living with peritoneal dialysis affects the patient's life. The experiences of peritoneal dialysis patients, especially Muslim patients, are incomprehensible. There is a need to explore this area further to foster nursing practice improvement through enhanced understanding.
The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of Muslim patients who are undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
A qualitative descriptive design was employed to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of Muslim patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in a peritoneal dialysis unit in Southern Thailand. Participants were initially recruited through purposive sampling and then selected based on the inclusion criteria. Data saturation was reached from October 2019 to January 2020. Ten Muslim patients who had been receiving peritoneal dialysis for a minimum of one month participated in personalized, in-depth, face-to-face interviews, which were supplemented by field notes. Inductive content analysis was performed using open coding, categories, and abstractions.
The experiences of Muslim patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis were grouped into two main categories: 1) Overwhelmed by change and 2) Learned to survive.
Peritoneal dialysis has a significant impact on Muslim patients, especially during the first months of treatment. Recognizing religious teachings and strengthening religious commitment through participation in religious practices are central to living on peritoneal dialysis. The findings offer a more profound insight into the experiences of Muslim patients receiving peritoneal dialysis. These results can be foundational knowledge for establishing and improving culturally appropriate nursing practices for Muslim patients.
进行腹膜透析会影响患者的生活。腹膜透析患者的经历，尤其是穆斯林患者的经历，难以理解。有必要进一步探索这一领域，以通过加深理解促进护理实践的改进。
本研究的目的是了解正在接受腹膜透析的穆斯林患者的经历。
采用定性描述性设计，以更深入地了解泰国南部一个腹膜透析单元中正在接受腹膜透析的穆斯林患者的经历。参与者最初通过目的抽样招募，然后根据纳入标准进行选择。2019年10月至2020年1月达到数据饱和。10名接受腹膜透析至少1个月的穆斯林患者参加了个性化的、深入的面对面访谈，并辅以实地记录。使用开放编码、类别和抽象进行归纳内容分析。
接受腹膜透析的穆斯林患者的经历分为两个主要类别：1）被变化压得喘不过气来和2）学会生存。
腹膜透析对穆斯林患者有重大影响，尤其是在治疗的最初几个月。认识宗教教义并通过参与宗教活动加强宗教信仰，是依靠腹膜透析生活的核心。这些发现为接受腹膜透析的穆斯林患者的经历提供了更深刻的见解。这些结果可以作为为穆斯林患者建立和改进符合文化习俗的护理实践的基础知识。
