The document reviews research on self-care management for adults undergoing hemodialysis for end stage renal disease. Sixty-four studies were reviewed and found to often focus on compliance with predetermined values rather than self-care. Self-care management is multidimensional and involves managing complex treatment regimens, making decisions during dialysis, and partnering in care. The review found that further research is needed on self-care management from the perspectives of clients, professionals, and the healthcare system.
