Our publication that explored how people with chronic kidney disease described their experiences of liminality associated with chronic kidney disease and treatment.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore how people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) describe/story experiences of liminality associated with CKD and its treatment. This narrative inquiry was undertaken using secondary data. The people relating the stories described a number of liminal spaces, including living/not living, independence/dependence, restrictions/freedom, normal/not normal, worse off/better off, and alone/connected. Awareness of the liminal spaces can help nurses provide care that addresses the complexity of CKD
