 Motivators of adherence to integrated management among patients with chronic kidney disease: A qualitative studyGeldine Chironda and Busisiwe Rosemary Bhengu Nursing & Health Sciences, 2019, vol. 21, issue 1, 63-70 Abstract: The integrated management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) demands significant changes, as patients need to adhere to dialysis, medication, and dietary and fluid restrictions. Therefore, there is a need to identify the motivators of adherence to improve the quality of life of these patients. The aim of the present study was to explore the motivators of adherence to integrated management among patients with CKD in South Africa. A phenomenological design was used. A sample size of 12 participants was selected according to data saturation. The purposive sampling method was used to select the participants. Data were collected with the help of a semistructured interview schedule developed from the literature. A thematic framework analysis was conducted to identify the motivators of adherence to integrated management; these were found to be family support, anxiety about eligibility for kidney transplant, support of other patients, awareness of complications associated with non‐adherence to integrated management, and fear of being removed from the CKD program. Identified motivators could be used to develop specific interventions that address or foster adherence behavior as a requirement for integrated management.
