Demonstrates enhanced patient engagement and reduced anxiety in chronic kidney disease, suggesting effective decision-making.
Taiwan bears one of the highest global burdens of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with an incidence of 536 per million population in 2022. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who progress to ESRD must make critical decisions regarding renal replacement therapy (RRT), including hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), kidney transplantation, or palliative care. Such decisions profoundly impact quality of life and clinical outcomes, and are often associated with anxiety and limited understanding.
