This exploratory-descriptive study identifies dimensions of self-management demonstrated by
patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who have been successfully treated with peritoneal
dialysis (PD) for more than 4 years (range = 4.1 to 13.1 years, mean=7.5 years). After
IRB review, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 individuals, 10 male and 8
female; 11 Caucasian, 6 African-American, and 1 Hispanic. Respondents ranged in age from
33 to 86 years (mean = 54.4 years). Interviews were audio-recorded and verbatim transcriptions
were analyzed according to a content analytic procedure, with movement from specific to
general. Two broad domains of self-management were identified: autonomy/control in health
care and normality in everyday life. Autonomy/control was comprised of three specific dimensions:
partnership in care, self-care, and self-care self-efficacy. Normality in everyday life
included the dimensions of flexibility/freedom, interpretation of illness severity, and perception
of body image. Although the small sample size and methodology limit generalizability,
insights into the lived self- management experience on PD were identified. Such insights lay
the groundwork for development of interventions to facilitate informed decision-making
regarding dialysis modality, to teach tactics for effective self-management on PD, and to help
health care professionals to support the self-management efforts of patients on PD.
