Abstract

The End-Stage Renal Disease population is aging. Considering that hemodialysis is a treatment that maintains and prolongs life, this descriptive-comparative study looks at the perceptions of patients according to age group -<65 years, n=121 and ≥65 years, n=123, as it pertains to dialysis treatment cessation and life-sustaining treatments. Results: Older patients are more indecisive as to what dialysis treatment cessation may actually represent for them (p=0,01). They expressed a greater need for support from the health care team if they decided to stop dialysis treatments (p=0,02); a greater involvement from the physician (p=0,04); and, in the event patients could not take part in end-of-life decision-making, they would give priority to the wishes of loved ones instead of their own wishes (p=0,01). Conclusion: Advanced care planning is necessary to demystify hemodialysis withdrawal and to support patients and their loved ones through this process.

Résumé

La clientèle au stade terminal d’insuffisance rénale est vieillissante. Considérant le fait que l’hémodialyse est un traitement qui maintien et prolonge la vie cette étude décrit et compare les perceptions de deux groupes de patients en hémodialyse selon l’âge -<65ans, n=121 et ≥65 ans, n=123) - quant à l’arrêt de la dialyse et les traitements de fin de vie. Résultats: Les ≥65 ans sont indécis quant à ce que représente un arrêt de dialyse (p= 0,01); ils souhaitent davantage le soutien de l’équipe de soins advenant l’arrêt de dialyse (p=0,02); ils sont plus nombreux à vouloir que le médecin décide pour eux des traitements de fin de vie (p=0,04); et, si inaptes, ils veulent d’avantage que les volontés de leurs proches aient priorité sur les leurs (p=0,01). Conclusion: Une planification des soins de fin de vie intégrée aux soins peut aider à démystifier l’arrêt de l’hémodialyse et à soutenir la clientèle âgée dans ce processus.
