Objective: African Americans are more likely to develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) than whites and face multiple inequities regarding ESKD treatment, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and overall care. This study focused on determining gaps in participants' knowledge of their chronic kidney disease and barriers to RRT selection in an effort to identify how we can improve health care interventions and health outcomes among this population. Methods: African American participants undergoing hemodialysis were recruited from an ongoing research study of hospitalized patients at an urban Midwest academic medical center. Thirty-three patients were interviewed, and the transcribed interviews were entered into a software program. The qualitative data were coded using template analysis to analyze text and determine key themes. Medical records were used to obtain demographic and additional medical information. Results: Three major themes emerged from the analysis: patients have limited information on ESKD causes and treatments, patients did not feel they played an active role in selecting their initial dialysis unit, and interpersonal interactions with the dialysis staff play a large role in overall unit satisfaction. Discussion: Although more research is needed, this study provides information and suggestions to improve future interventions and care quality, specifically for this population.
