Use of Dialysis, a Model of Identity Bifurcation for Patients Admitted to EMS-Cocody (Ivory Coast)
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: It should be remembered that kidney failure is a frequent chronic disease. It is the result of the evolution of certain diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, infections and congenital malformations, which destroy the kidneys. These no longé perform their purification function (Gombert B., 2014). This evolution can be mitigated by avoiding it or by addressing all the factors that can aggravate it. Moreover, the announcement of the disease to an individual constitutes a moment of fragility (...). So, the project of this communication is to analyze the process of identity reconstruction in the person with kidney failure in a socio-cultural environment. In concrete terms, it is a question of describing the long journey and acceptance of the disease on the one hand, and on the other hand, the resilience strategies developed by the patient. The conceptual framework used in this study is based on the principles of Dubar's (1992) theoretical approach. This leads to the result that the reconstruction of the patient's identity is problematic; first, the announcement of renal failure, which is a disruption that will occur over time for the patient and his family. Secondly, the patient's autonomy can only be achieved through the reconstruction of identity through personalized management of treatment and daily life actions. To this end, socio-professional care is all the more necessary.
