The aim of this study is to examine the changes that occur in the lives of adults who received PD treatment during childhood after diagnosis and their experiences related to the treatment process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective and qualitative study was conducted with 18 adult participants living in the province of Izmir in Turkey who had received at least 6 months of PD treatment during childhood. Participants were selected using snowball sampling. A semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection tool. Study data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the individual in-depth interview technique.

Psychological effects include the sub-themes of fear, shock, sadness, hopelessness, and shame. Daily life effects include the sub-themes of changes in eating habits, changes in body image, difficulty taking medication, repeated hospitalizations, stress coping, and adaptation. Social effects include social isolation, peritoneal dialysis room, social support, and personal life. Academic effects include the sub-themes of absenteeism, taking a break from education, academic failure, and being forced to change career choice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings from this research will provide guidance for a deeper understanding of the needs of children undergoing PD today and for initiatives planned in this context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00467-026-07410-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,25]],"date-time":"2026-06-25T06:53:34Z","timestamp":1782370414000},"page":"4141-4154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experiences of adults who underwent peritoneal dialysis in childhood: retrospective and qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0314-710X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ay\u015fen","family":"Toktay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5035-7230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kader","family":"Mert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"7410_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2011060607","volume":"23","author":"AK Jain","year":"2012","unstructured":"Jain AK, Blake P, Cordy P, Garg AX (2012) Global trends in rates of peritoneal dialysis.
