Abstract<br/><br/> The purpose of this study was to describe what it is like to be on hemodialysis at midlife. It aimed to present a rich description capturing the essence of phenomena through the human experiences of middle-aged adults who have directly encountered challenges and dilemmas associated with the transition to a life of hemodialysis treatments. Also, it sought to understand the effects of Hemodialysis had on a middle-aged individual and how all the usual aspirations and responsibilities that they held in life were all put in second place because of the urgency of their condition.<br/><br/> In this descriptive study, the researcher employed a phenomenological research design making use of a maximum variation purposive sampling technique for the recruitment of three middle-aged adults with diverse characteristics. A semi-structured interview approach was brought into play in collecting the data and was guided by a self-made interview guide questions to ensure that all areas of the participants' experiences were covered. The researcher analyzed the data using a qualitative methodological approach proposed by Collaizi.<br/><br/> Five themes emerged during the course of the study as follows: Dependency - From Provider to Providee, Resourcing Daily Strength, Feelings of Stagnation, Living in Hope, and Resignation to the Routines of Hemodialysis. In these themes echoed the patients' feeling of being a burden due to their limitations and dependence. In light of this, a self-management program is recommended to these patients in order to give them the confidence and motivation they need to manage the challenges of living on hemodialysis.<br/> |
