“…Many researches confirmed the high prevalence rate of depression in patients with CRF as the most common psychiatric diagnoses due to many social problems or mental stresses, which are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Joshwa et al stated that the depression prevalence among these patients is 72% in India, 12% of whom suffer from severe depression (22) and in Iran the prevalence is 79% (23). Depression symptoms in chronic dialysis patients are more prevalent than other chronic diseases.…”

Nurses and policy makers should have special attention to consequences of stress in patients undergoing hemodialysis. It plays an important role to provide a framework for appropriate supportive measures and gives the opportunity for nurses to manage the problems facing these patients. Please cite this paper as: Introduction:Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a common problem in today's world. Patients with hemodialysis are subjected to stress even more severe than others. Objectives: This study aimed to explain patients' perception with hemodialysis about stress exposure and its consequences. Patients and Methods:This study is a qualitative approach based on directed content analysis. The data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews with patients treated with hemodialysis. Participants were selected using purposive sampling method and data saturation was reached by conducting 11 interviews so that, the new finding was not added. Data analysis was simultaneously conducted based on Grant's model of the consequence of exposure to stress. The validity and reliability of the data was confirmed using peer review method and results were also confirmed by participants. Results: Four themes, including support, psychological outcomes, adherence to treatment and physical trouble, 12 categories and 33 sub-categories were obtained during data analysis process. According to the results, "support" was added.

IntroductionThe quality of care and patient satisfaction is closely linked with dignity, which is a crucial component of therapy and care. However, there is very little study on dignity in the context of mental health care. Planning for ongoing patient care might benefit from an understanding of the notion of dignity by exploring the experiences of patients, caregivers and companions of patients who have a history of hospitalization in mental health institutions. To retain patients' dignity while they were being treated in mental wards, this study sought to understand the experiences of patients, caregivers and companions of patients.Materials and MethodsThis investigation was qualitative. Semistructured interviews and focus groups were utilized to collect the data. The purposeful sampling method was employed for participant recruitment, which continued until data saturation. Two focus group discussions and 27 interviews were conducted. Participants included 8 patients, 2 patients' family members (companions), 3 psychologists, 4 nurses and 11 psychiatrists. Two focus group discussions were held with seven family members or companions of patients. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis.ResultsThe primary theme that emerged was the infringement of patients' dignity, through negative guardianship, dehumanization and violations of their rights. Subthemes included dehumanization, worthlessness and namelessness, patient rights violations and stripping patients of authority.ConclusionOur results suggest that, regardless of the severity of the illness, the nature of psychiatric illness significantly compromises patients' dignity. Mental health practitioners, due to their sense of guardianship, may unintentionally treat patients with mental health disorders, thus compromising the patient's dignity.Patient or Public ContributionThe research team's experiences as a psychiatrist, doctor and nurse informed the study's objectives. Nurses and psychiatrists who work in the healthcare industry designed and conducted the study. The primary authors, who are healthcare providers, collected and analysed the required data. Furthermore, the entire study team contributed to the writing of the manuscript. Study participants were involved in the data collection and analysis.
