RESUMO
This is the first paper in a two-part Continuing Education (CE) series focusing on psychosocial care of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), which addresses a variety of psychological responses experienced by patients when adapting to the challenges posed by living with this long-term condition. The second paper will examine further the issues of coping and adjustment to ESKD and the need for renal supportive care to ensure person-centred holistic care is provided to patients.
