Peritoneal dialysis, a home-based treatment, enhances patient well-being but is less preferred in Taiwan. This study uses in-depth interviews and ranking surveys to examine the decision-making process of 25 patients (13 male, 12 female, aged 31-80) who initiated peritoneal dialysis. Findings reveal that physicians significantly influence dialysis choices, with their expertise and leadership being core factors. Patients' participation in decision-making is categorized as "active" or "passive" based on their knowledge and acceptance of treatments. Family members also play a crucial role in decisions for patients relying on familial care. Trust in physicians' recommendations is crucial, emphasizing the importance of a strong doctor-patient relationship and ongoing support to boost patient confidence in peritoneal dialysis
