Abstract
Chronic renal failure is an example of chronic illness where the family is often expected to provide ongoing home health care. This paper reports the results of a study with 19 women who were trained to assist their husbands with home hemodialysis. The impact of living with a spouse with chronic renal failure is discussed, using case examples. Future research needs are addressed.Keywords
