Sponsor's own description

The goal of this prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study is to assess the trajectory of the experiences (both positive and negative) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of informal caregivers of patients who start home dialysis, and compare these to experiences and HRQOL of informal caregivers of patients who start in-centre hemodialysis. The investigators hypothesise that informal caregivers of home dialysis patients experience more positive experiences, but also more negative experiences, and still have better HRQoL, compared with caregivers of in-centre HD patients. Participants will fill in five different validated questionnaires and questions on required support. Participants are asked to fill in the questionnaires after inclusion (i.e., start of dialysis), and at 6 and 12 months after start dialysis.
