Functional independence in patients with chronic kidney disease being treated with haemodialysis¹

Abstract: Purpose: This study has described and analysed the functional independence of the patients served in the haemodialysis services of a countryside town in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Method: The population considered was that of 214 patients being treated with haemodialysis, assessed in 2011, by means of a social, demographic and clinical report, a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and also the FIM. Results: The mean age of the population under study was 58… Show more

“…16 The results identified in this study are data from the 2016 census of BSN 7 , highlighting that the main underlying diagnosis of dialysis patients is hypertension followed by Diabetes Mellitus. Similar causes have also been found in studies [16][17] conducted in João Pessoa/PB and São Paulo, which report arterial hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus as the most frequent comorbidities associated with CKD.…”

“…This result can be related to the previously mentioned limitations suffered by older adults in conducting basic activities of daily living (ADLs) throughout the aging process, limitations that are heightened by the presence of CKD. Considering that this disease imposes restrictions and limitations on patients, especially after the introduction of hemodialysis, many individuals are not able to develop their routine individual, social, and family activities (39) . Floriano and Dalgalarrondo (40) stated that to understand the health and illness process and determinants of QOL among older adults, it is essential to observe this population within their family and social context, which includes their limitations, relationship networks, and beliefs.…”

“…In order to verify the association of functional independence and self-care ability with sociodemographic and clinical variables through the Appraisal of Self-Care Agency (ASAS-R) scale and Functional Independence Measure, a study (16) found that the 214 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis had satisfactory results of functional independence and ability for self-care. The authors also mention that as the functional independence scores increased, the ability for self-care increased.…”
