[The first haemodialysis session as experienced by patients and caregivers].
An investigation into the way in which patients experience their first haemodialysis session, carried out at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris, in 2009, provided an assessment of their degree of preparation and compliance with treatment. The caregivers also talked about the experience from their perspective. Information and support upstream would help patients to accept the treatment and reduce the difficulties encountered by caregivers.
