Bender, Courtney Hoge, Clarica Douglas-Ajayi, Fran Rickenbach, Jessica Joseph, Kelli Collins Damron, Jennifer Craft Morgan, Bernard Jaar, Laura Plantinga

“…Eight themes emerged: (1) value of PCT role is not reflected in job or organizational policies and structures; (2) PCTs play a flexible and often ill-defined role in dialysis clinics; (3) despite being in a position with high risk of burnout, PCTs find ways to persevere and provide high-quality care; (4) PCTs are often perceived as “helpers” or ancillary rather than an integral part of the dialysis care team; (5) PCT job training and qualifications are not standardized and often not commensurate with job expectations and responsibilities; (6) PCT-patient relationships are deeply valued, but boundaries can be fluid and become blurred because of the frequency and nature of dialysis care; (7) dialysis patients and staff are vulnerable to multilevel workplace safety issues; and (8) PCT-staff dynamics have a strong impact on employee morale, clinic efficiency, and patient satisfaction. …”
