“…Results similar to those identified in a study in which HRQoL, as assessed by SF-36 before transplantation and after two years afterwards, presented high values in all previously mentioned domains, totaling 1,137.9 points before transplantation and 1,458, respectively. 9 points at 2 years after transplantation (32) . A study in which the HRQoL of people on hemodialysis was assessed from the application of SF-36, when compared to 'functional capacity' scored lower (40.2), followed by 'vitality' (41, 2) and 'general state of health' (43.1).…”

Objective: to assess the relationship between health-related quality of life with depression and self-esteem of people after kidney transplantation. Method: a cross-sectional study of 47 outpatients from October 2016 to February 2017. The following tools were applied: The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, Beck Depression Inventory and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation were used. Results: women had lower scores for health-related quality of life. Young adults, people with up to one and a half years of transplantation and those who had dialysis for more than one year had higher scores. Conclusion: the health-related quality of life of people with chronic kidney disease after transplantation ranged from good to excellent. The presence of depression was not identified. The relationship of data indicates that the higher the quality of life, the better the self-esteem assessment.

“…Additionally, the eldest patients rated the Physical health domain significantly lower (p < 0.02) ( Table I). For the eldest patients the reduced satisfaction with overall health and the Physical health domain may be associated not only with ESRD and HD per se, but also with their age and age-related impairments and weakness [4][5][6]. In the case of married patients, ESRD and HD affect not only their own life, but also the life of a spouse and therefore may lower satisfaction with overall health (Table I) [6].…”

“…The HD improves health and prolongs life, but simultaneously Arch Med Sci Civil Dis 2018 e113 leads to emotional disturbances and reflects the quality of life (QOL) [1,2]. All patients with chronic illnesses are reported to have impaired QOL [3], but ESRD patients on HD have considerably poorer QOL compared to healthy individuals, the general population and even to patients with other chronic diseases and to renal transplant patients [4][5][6].…”

“…The QOL is an important indicator of effective HD, a measure of patient outcome and an important variable assessing HD patients [1,4,[7][8][9]. Due to the lack of measures assessing QOL, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed its own instrument named the World Health Organization Questionnaire of Quality of Life (WHOQOL).…”

Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) improves health and prolongs the life of end-stage renal disease patients, but simultaneously leads to emotional disturbances and impairs the quality of life (QOL). The study was conducted to evaluate the QOL of HD patients. The study was approved by the Regional Bioethical Committee (K.B.Cz.-0014/2017). Material and methods: The World Health Organization Questionnaire of QOL (WHOQOL-BREF) was used in this study with the formal agreement of the WHO. The associations between each patient-related and dialysis-related factor and WHOQOL-BREF domains and questions were computed. The variables were compared by the Student t-test. Results: Data were collected in August 2017 in a single access center. Sixty-nine patients, including 23 (33.3%) women, were evaluated. The factors lowering the scores for particular questions and domains of WHOQOL-BREF were senility, marriage, wrist and arm AVF, not-tunneled CVCs (vs. tunneled), and unwillingness to have a kidney graft. The factors that increased scores for particular questions and domains of WHOQOL-BREF were short dialysis, tunneled CVCs (vs. not-tunneled), and higher URR. The relations between domains and questions of WHOQOL-BREF and sex, education, months on dialysis, kidney graft in the past, fulfillment of medical recommendations, Kt/V and UF were not significant. Conclusions: Although a kidney graft is the best kidney replacement therapy, there is a large group of patients who do not want to receive this treatment. This group should be given special attention. The medical professionals in HD units should remember that patients may not feel comfortable with their disease and satisfied with their body image affected by therapy.
