Key Words Narrative support; Middle-aged and young adults; Maintenance hemodialysis; Stigma associated with illness; Anxiety; Depression
Core Tip Structured narrative support significantly reduces stigma, anxiety, and depression in young and middle-aged hemodialysis patients. It also improves treatment adherence, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life. This patient-centered approach helps patients reframe their illness experiences through guided storytelling, offering an effective strategy to address the psychosocial challenges of long-term dialysis. Narrative support is a valuable complement to the standard clinical care.
