Dialysis at home, from my place to ours
La dialyse à domicile, du chez-soi au chez-nous
Résumé
The patient being cared for at home should be considered with his entourage. In the case of dialysis, the relative is involved and his relationship with the patient becomes more complex, because the patient is in a situation of increased dependency. Hence, the relative is a fully-fledged partner in home haemodialysis, particularly in the decision-making process. Support from professionals helps to rebalance this relationship, if necessary.
