Abstract

People with kidney disease receiving dialysis continue to have high rates of morbidity, anxiety, and depression, all leading to poor quality of life.1 Capacity to understand the best treatment choices can be limited, resulting in poor decision-making and poor health outcomes.2,3 Peer mentoring has been used to inform people receiving dialysis based on the premise that people who have gone through the dialysis experience are best suited to assist others.4,5 These relationships can influence decisions by increasing knowledge, skills, and social support, resulting in improved quality of life.
