“…This can affect their physical, mental and spiritual health, and can even be life-threatening [18]. In this study, it was found out that mean hopelessness scores of the participants was low which is consistent with earlier research [18,19].…”

“…Although understanding how patients' perception of their illness will impact on how they cope with and adapt to their disease, only few and limited studies have been carried out to date [16,18]. There is evidence to show that response to an event is flavored by the individual's knowledge, capabilities, life experiences, and socio-cultural background [16].…”

“…25 Nonetheless, other studies have found that mental and physical components are both affected. 26,27 The lower scores achieved by our depressed patients in the mental domains have an important implication. They indicate that depressed patients perceive that they have a very poor QOL since, besides the chronically affected physical domains, they are also limited in the mental dimensions, which are some of the best scored dimensions among non-depressed patients in our work and in other studies.…”

Objective: To determine the correlation between depression and quality of life (QOL) of patients in hemodialysis (HD). Method: One hundred and sixty six patients over 18 years of age who had been in HD for at least three months and had no history of transplant. QOL was assessed using the SF-36. To categorize depression, a score ≥ 10 was used on the 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Comparisons between depressed and nondepressed patients were performed using the chi-square test, Student's t-test, and Mann-Whitney test. Multiple regression was performed to assess the predictive variables of patients' QOL. Results: Symptoms of depression were found in 13 (7.8%) patients. The only variable that differed among depressed patients was QOL. Depressed patients presented lower scores in vitality (40.7 vs. 57.3; p = 0.010), role-emotional (25.6 vs. 62.5

“…When interrelations of quality of life, SD, and psychiatric symptoms were investigated, in our study, particularly, the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms was found to be negatively correlated with the quality of life. As it is suggested that psychiatric disorders also worsen the quality of life independently from ESRD, it is an expected result that as the severity of psychiatric symptoms existing in ESRD increases, the quality of life further worsens (42). Also, Ozcetin et al (20) reported a negative correlation between HADS scores and SF-36 scores, which measures the quality of life, in patients undergoing dialysis.…”
