“…End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing public health problem with significant physiological, psychological and socio-economic implications for the individual, family and the community [1, 2]. Despite advances in technology and medical care, it remains a serious and life-threatening illness with a very high mortality rate and low quality of life [3–5]. Studies revealed the world wide incidence and prevalence of ESRD is increasing and it is projected that by 2020 the number of patients with ESRD will rise by nearly 60% in comparison with that of 2005 [6, 7].…”

BackgroundResearch suggests that patients with end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis have a higher rate of depression and dietary non adherence leading to hospitalization and mortality. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the quantitative evidence on the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving hemodialysis.MethodsA systematic review was undertaken. Three electronic databases were searched including PubMed, CINHAL and Web of Science. Only quantitative studies published between 2001 and 2016 were included in the review.ResultA total of 141 publications were reviewed during the search process and 28 articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the review. Eleven studies (39.3%) reported on the prevalence of depressive symptoms or depression and its effect on patient outcomes. Ten studies (35.7%) focused on dietary adherence/non adherence in patients with ESRD and the remaining seven (25%) articles were descriptive studies on the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence in patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis. The prevalence of depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence ranged as 6–83.49% and from 41.1–98.3% respectively. Decreased quality of life & increased morbidity and mortality were positively associated with depressive symptoms. Other factors including urea, hemoglobin, creatinine and serum albumin had also association with depressive symptoms. Regarding dietary non adherence, age, social support, educational status, behavioral control and positive attitudes are important factors in ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis. Having depressive symptoms is more likely to increase dietary non adherence.ConclusionDepressive symptoms and dietary non adherence were highly prevalent in patients with end stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis therapy. Nearly all of the articles that examined the relationship between depressive symptoms and dietary non adherence found a significant association. Future research using experimental or longitudinal design and gold standard measures with established cut-points is needed to further explain the relationship.

INTRODUCTION: Anemia is a common symptom of end stage renal disease in children and adolescents. Anemia is one factor for patients with end stage renal disease that have an effect on quality of life. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the hemoglobin level and quality of life and fatigue level for children and adolescent in Jordan. MATERIALS & METHODS: A cross-sectional correlational design was used. A total of 121 children and adolescences were recruited from hemodialysis units at seven hospitals of three cities in Jordan. Data collected through the 34-item Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 End-Stage Renal Disease (PedsQL 3.0 ESRD questionnaire. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated that 38 (31.4%) school-age children their age ranged from 6 to 12 years old, while adolescents (13-20) years old 83 (68.6%), and 67 (55.4) of them were female. Children and adolescents with ESRD reported low mean hemoglobin level over 7 months below 11.1g/dlSD (1.9). A significantly negative correlation between the PedsQL total scores with mean hemoglobin levels p<0.05 was reported, and positive correlation with fatigue sub-score p<0.05. CONCLUSIONS: It is essential for nurses and patients to recognize the relationship between anemia and low quality of life and high fatigue level for end stage renal disease children and adolescent patients. Finding of current study are facilitating to design especial program for improve the nutritional and health status for those ESRD patients.
