A Study Examining Self-Efficacy in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Overview

About this study

The primary aims of this multiple explanatory case study are to:

1) explain the use of Bandura’s (1997) Self-Efficacy Theory in the context of home automated peritoneal dialysis (PD)

2) explain how a NP led home visit designed to promote wellness assists with a patient’s self-efficacy in performing their PD at home.
