Reviewer 3 Report

Psychological and lifestyle aspects of long-term hemodialysis (HD) are extremely important and sometimes underestimated by clinicians, who are mainly focused on patients’ compliance and treatment outcomes. The authors made an attempt to specifically analyze self-care experiences of extremely long-term HD survivors, which could help to improve our understanding of non-medical factors prolonging life of HD patients.

The presented article is interesting and carefully prepared, therefore, I suggest it to be accepted for publication after some revisions:

1) It is well known that socioeconomic factors could make a huge impact on the mental experiences of HD patients, including possibility to travel and work part-time (this is almost impossible for manual jobs), diet variety etc. This aspect is very little discussed in the manuscript, only information about patients’ gender, age and family status is presented.

2) Conclusions are too short and limited to rather general statements; its is not discussed how the research results could improve clinical practices and care standards for HD patients.
