Social and Behavioral Barriers to Effective Care During the Transition to End-Stage Kidney Care.
Adv Kidney Dis Health 2024 January
Individuals living with CKD are disproportionately burdened by a multitude of adverse clinical and person-centered outcomes. When patients transition from advanced kidney disease to kidney failure, the psychosocial effects as well as social determinants of health challenges are magnified, making this a particularly difficult time for patients beginning kidney replacement therapy. The key social determinants of health challenges often include food and housing insecurity, poverty, unreliable transportation, low level education and/or health literacy, lack of language interpreters and culturally concordant educational materials, lack of health care insurance coverage, and mistrust of the health care system. Psychosocial and physical stressors, such as depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, sleep difficulty, fatigue, and pain, are often part of the illness burden among individuals living with CKD and can interact synergistically with the social challenges making the transition to kidney replacement therapy particularly challenging. To better support patients during this time, it is critical that social and structural determinants of health as well as mental health be assessed and if needs are identified, that services be provided.
