Methods Using the purposive sampling method, 11 patients were interviewed. The interview results were analyzed using Colaizzi analysis and the keywords were extracted. Result A total of 9 keywords were extracted, including beliefs and attitudes ( the sense of responsibility, economic burden and social needs to be met);knowledge and ability ( ability to maintain normal peritoneal dialysis but lack of the ability to solve related complications and decreased work ability after returning to society);related to action and performanc ( limited occupational self-development after returning to society,related to social support and resources:more social support, guidance in chronic disease management and proper social welfare). Conclusions Returning to society can improve the living conditions of middle-aged and youth patients with peritoneal dialysis although they can run into troubles in economic conditions, fatigue, and lack of disease management knowledge and ability. Medical workers should provide them with instructions on disease management knowledge, strengthen social support system other than their families and help them out of the troubles so that they can return to society and enhance their life of quality.
