Background. chronic kidney Disease is a progressive illness that requires long-term treatment. Frequent hospitalisation due to dialysis is a result of multiple stressors which contributes to depressive disorders. Objectives. the aim of this study was to assess the increase of stress and occurrence of depressive disorders among patients haemodialyzed regarding sociometric and medical data. Material and methods. the study was carried out in a group of 102 patients with chronic kidney Disease who were subjected to haemodialysis in koszalin, Poland. the study was conducted using the diagnostic poll method and standardised research tools: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Beck's Depression inventory. Results. a positive correlation between an increase in stress and depression has been proven (r = 0.601). Depression has been much more frequent among patients with a greater increase in stress (p = 0.001). Data analysis indicates that among all the considered sociodemographic variables, only financial situation considerably contributes to an upsurge in anxiety (p = 0.001). it has been established that pain (p = 0.001) and self-sufficiency for daily activities (p = 0.007) are factors in an increase of the stress experienced. additionally, it has been concluded that there is a statistically relevant relationship between patients' gender and the prevalence of depression. Conclusion. a majority of the patients treated with haemodialysis are characterised with mild depression and high levels of anxiety. Particular attention should be payed to patients with severe pain and low self-sufficiency, since they are more likely to experience stronger anxiety and more severe depression. Female, geriatric and financially troubled patients are susceptible to depression.

“…One study done in Nepal reported similar findings where the rate of depression was higher among those undergoing dialysis for less than one year. 10 One possible reason for this finding may be that being diagnosed with chronic illness leading to significant changes in one's lifestyle may acutely lead to the development of psychological disorders, which with time patient may become adjusted to the situation.…”

“…9 One study conducted in Nepal found the prevalence of depression to be 51.8% which is lower than our study. 10 A study by Maharashtra, India, concluded that depression was the most common psychiatric comorbidity in patients undergoing haemodialysis (40.69%). 11 Another study conducted in the Middle East found the prevalence of depression and anxiety among patients undergoing haemodialysis to be 56.4% and 51.3% respectively.…”

This study aimed to find out the prevalence of anxiety and depression among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis in the Department of Medicine, Nephrology unit of a tertiary care centre from December 2020 to June 2021. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 1712202003). The whole sampling method was used. The diagnosis of anxiety and depression was made using the Nepali version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale with a cut-off of ≥8 scores. Results: Among 96 patients, the prevalence of anxiety was 66 (68.75%) and that of depression was 74 (77.08%) patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was similar to other studies done in similar settings.
