Chronic kidney failure (CKF) has become an increasingly important public health issue in our
country and worldwide. According to data systems in our country, as of the end of 2022, there
were a total of 86,665 patients with chronic kidney failure, and 4.1% of these patients undergo
peritoneal dialysis treatment. Peritoneal dialysis requires active participation of the patient in the
treatment, and it can lead to negative effects on body image, self-esteem, and sexual relations
due to the peritoneal dialysis catheter, causing anxiety and depression in patients and negatively
affecting their quality of life. Throughout human life, individuals undergo changes in identity, roles,
responsibilities, abilities, and behaviors due to various reasons (illness, pregnancy, death, birth).
One of the fundamental duties of nurses is to assist individuals undergoing various transitions in
their lives, to support healthy transitions, and to minimize unhealthy transitions. In this study, the
process of transition experienced by a healthy woman transitioning to the role of motherhood due
to health problems during pregnancy, and transitioning to chronic kidney failure and peritoneal
dialysis treatment, is examined based on Meleis' Transition Theory
