Perspectives on social health among patients from Arab backgrounds receiving kidney replacement therapy: an interview study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with chronic kidney disease receiving kidney replacement therapy have an increased risk of having poor social participation and connections, which are associated with poor health outcomes. This may be exacerbated in people from minority or disadvantaged groups, including culturally and linguistically diverse populations, who face multiple social disadvantages. We aimed to describe the perspectives on social health and connections among patients from Arab backgrounds receiving kidney replacement therapy.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Arabic or English language with Arab Australians receiving kidney replacement therapy across four renal units within the Western Renal Service, Australia. Transcripts were thematically analysed.
