| Abstract | Background Patient education and dialogue are important when choosing a future treatment strategy for patients with chronic kidney disease. To support patients in their decision-making process, it is critical to provide information in a way that patients can understand. This study was conducted to understand how nephrologists view the goals of information sharing, the challenges involved, and the strategies used as part of treatment planning. Methods This study had a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with 14 practicing nephrologists working in different hospitals in Sweden and with experience in providing information to patients approaching the need for dialysis. The interviews were conducted in 2022. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results The results are presented thematically under the headings Objectives, Content, Challenges, and Strategies. Participants tried to find common ground with patients, in terms of shared knowledge, shared views on the appropriate decision-making process, and ultimately also agreement on which treatment option was best. There was a tension between allowing patients to make their own decisions and guiding patients to make decisions with the best outcomes as judged by the nephrologist. Achieving common ground was not always possible, both because of factors related to the patient’s preferences or limited capacity, and because of boundaries set by the physician to protect the patient from unwarranted or harmful information. Dealing with competing sources of information was seen as challenging. The nephrologists felt a professional responsibility for their treatment recommendations, combined with uncertainty about which patient would benefit from dialysis and when to start. Conclusions Planning future treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease involves a complex information process that leaves room for both paternalism and respect for autonomy. Nephrologists face many competing challenges when discussing treatment options with patients. These challenges should be taken into account in the development of support for nephrologists in the area of information sharing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
