Descriptive survey reveals cognitive impairment and social support influence self-care adherence in older adults with chronic kidney disease.

Cognitive impairment significantly increases the risk of self-care non-adherence among older adults.
Higher social support from healthcare providers correlates with reduced non-adherence risk (r=–.36).
Lower health literacy is linked to a greater risk of self-care non-adherence (r=–.42).
Decreased physical activity serves as a predictive factor in self-care non-adherence, highlighting the need for interventions.

Seo et al. (2025) studied this question.
