The purpose of this study was to explore how people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
describe/story experiences of liminality associated with CKD and its treatment. This narrative
inquiry was undertaken using secondary data. The people relating the stories
described a number of liminal spaces, including living/not living, independence/dependence,
restrictions/freedom, normal/not normal, worse off/better off, and alone/connected.
Awareness of the liminal spaces can help nurses provide care that addresses the complexity
of CKD.
