“…27,28 In a study drawing comparisons between patients undergoing periodic hemodialysis and renal transplant recipients, Avsar et al 27 showed that rates of anxiety and depression were significantly higher in the former group, probably because of the stress caused by the need for long-term monitoring of chronic kidney disease. The authors concluded that resolution of the physical health problem had improved the quality of life and thus the emotional health of the renal transplant recipients.…”

“…The authors concluded that resolution of the physical health problem had improved the quality of life and thus the emotional health of the renal transplant recipients. 27 It should be kept in mind that the abovementioned studies involved patients with chronic diseases that have systemic repercussions and require long-term pharmacological treatment. That is not the case in women with benign breast disease, in whom periodic gynecological follow-up examinations are sufficient.…”

“…The severity of anxiety (BAI score) is categorized as follows: minimal (0-7); mild (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15); moderate (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25); and severe . The severity of depression (BDI score) is categorized as follows: minimal (0-9); mild (10-18); moderate (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29); and severe (30-63).…”

Summary Introduction: Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent, affecting 40% of the female population. The incidence of such dysfunction is known to be higher among women with malignant breast disease and in patients with depression or anxiety. However, there are few data regarding the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among women with benign breast disease (BBD). Objective: To evaluate the incidence of sexual dysfunction, depression and anxiety among women with BBD, in comparison with that observed for healthy women. Method: We evaluated the incidence of sexual dysfunction in 60 patients with benign breast disease (fibroadenomas, breast cysts, breast pain and phyllodes tumor) and 69 healthy women (control group). Participants completed the Sexual Quotient Questionnaire for Females (SQQ-F), the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Statistical analysis revealed that depression and anxiety were comparable between BBD and control groups (10.3 vs. 20.3% and 38.7 vs. 34.3%, respectively, p>0.05). The mean SQQ-F score (65.6±22.7 vs. 70.1±16.8; p>0.05) and sexual dysfunction (33.3 vs. 25.4%; p=0.324) were similar between BBD and control groups. Conclusion: We found no differences between women with BBD and healthy women in terms of the incidence of sexual dysfunction, anxiety and depression. Nevertheless, given the high prevalence of this condition, it is important to assess sexual quality of life, as well as overall quality of life, in women with BBD.

“…When asked if he had learned any life lessons from caring for his wife, the husband of a dialysis patient responded “Yes, and it’s a harsh one. But I was warned before, by my partner, don’t get involved with anyone that’s ill.” Cross sectional and retrospective studies observe caregivers of transplant patients to have lower caregiving burden and improved quality of life (QOL) compared to caregivers of dialysis patients (14, 24, 25). These observed measurable changes in caregivers’ QOL suggest that KT, while improving the patient’s independence and freeing them from the burden of dialysis, could also significantly improve caregiver QOL.…”

Considering Tangible Benefit for Interdependent Donors: Extending a Risk–Benefit Framework in Donor Selection

From its infancy, live donor transplantation has operated within a framework of acceptable risk to donors. Such a framework presumes that risks of living donation are experienced by the donor while all benefits are realized by the recipient, creating an inequitable distribution that demands minimization of donor risk. We suggest that this risk-tolerance framework ignores tangible benefits to donor. A previously proposed framework more fully considers potential benefits to the donor and argues that risks and benefits must be balanced. We expand on this approach, and posit that donors sharing a household with and/or caring for a potential transplant patient may realize tangible benefits that are absent in a more distantly related donation (e.g. cousin, non-directed). We term these donors, whose wellbeing is closely tied to their recipient, “interdependent donors.” A flexible risk-benefit model that combines risk assessment with benefits to interdependent donors will contribute to donor evaluation and selection that more accurately reflects what is at stake for donors. In so doing, a risk-benefit framework may allow some donors to accept greater risk in donation decisions.

“…The workload involved in caring for HD patients has a significant impact on the lives of caregivers, who are often family members . In this context, several studies conducted to evaluate caregivers of HD patients have confirmed high rates of caregiver burden, impaired quality of life, high depression and anxiety levels and poor sleep quality . A recent systematic review showed that quality of life and burden of caregivers of dialysis are worse than in the general population and comparable to caregivers of patients with other chronic diseases .…”

Association between exercise training in haemodialysis patients and burden of their family caregivers: A cross‐sectional study

Aim Considering that exercise programmes are related with a range of benefits for end‐stage renal disease patients, we evaluated the association between haemodialysis (HD) patients’ involvement in intradialytic exercise training with the burden of their family caregivers. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 60 caregivers of HD patients were recruited, 30 of them who cared for patients that regularly participated in an exercise programme during dialysis sessions and 30 caregivers who looked after patients undergoing usual HD treatment without intradialytic exercise. The caregivers were submitted to the Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS) and their quality of life (short‐form‐36 (SF‐36)), anxiety and depression levels were assessed. Data were expressed as mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). Results Multiple linear regression showed that the global CBS score was significantly associated with the exercise training after adjusting for age, educational level and anxiety level of caregivers, and dependency level of patients measured by the Lawton scale (coefficient of determination = 0.53; adjusted coefficient of determination = 0.48). Additionally, the caregivers of HD patients submitted to intradialytic exercise (42.0 ± 12.9 years, 33.3% male) compared to caregivers of patients undergoing usual treatment (50.7 ± 17.5 years, 26.7% male) exhibited less caregiver burden (global CBS score = 1.2 (0.2) vs 1.9 (0.7), P < 0.001), better quality of life (physical component score = 53.7 (9.6) vs 49.7 (16.2) and mental component score = 50.6 (17.5) vs 28.2 (32.5), P < 0.05) and lower anxiety (7.2 ± 4.2 vs 10.8 ± 4.1, P = 0.001) and depression levels (3.0 (3.3) vs 6.0 (5.3), P = 0.034), respectively. Conclusions Intradialytic exercise training in HD patients was associated with lower burden of their family caregivers.
