“…Consistent with aforementioned studies, Taheri et al suggested that long-term dialysis treatment reduces the patients' quality of life (4). Guerra et al and Santos et al observed higher mental function scores in patients on hemodialysis for less than 36 months compared to those on dialysis for more than 3 years (28,29). It was believed that an increase in duration of hemodialysis might cause the patients being adapted to hemodialysis and improvement of uremic symptoms to enhance their quality of life (17).…”

Background: The number of patients with chronic renal failure is increasing in Iran. Quality of life is an important indicator that reveals the sense of well-being, positive understanding of their, and the effectiveness of health care in patients undergoing dialysis, which could be affected by duration of dialysis. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the relationship between quality of life and duration of dialysis in hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, 246 patients with chronic kidney failure were selected by Single-stage stratified cluster sampling. Hemodialysis patients were put into 2 groups with a duration of hemodialysis less than and more than 36 months and were then compared with each other. The quality of life was measured using the kidney disease quality of life short form (KDQOL-SF36). Data analysis was performed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and ANOVA Results: The mean duration of hemodialysis patients was 34.03 months. There was no significant relationship between the quality of life in patients and duration of hemodialysis. Poor quality of life had a significant correlation with old age (P < 0.001), educational level (P < 0.001), job, and income (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The findings showed poor quality of life in patients on dialysis. The length of the disease and other accompanying diseases reduced the quality of life in dialysis patients as their age increased. It is evident that educated people who have better access to sources of support and are able to cope with disease complications have a higher quality of life.

“…[6][7] Even though renal replacement therapies promote the maintenance and prolongation of life, they do not cure the disease and even harm one's daily life and QOL in the long run. 8 Patients undergoing hemodialysis face limitations in their daily lives and also experience many losses and biopsychosocial changes, such as the loss of health (at a physiological and biochemical level), anemia, loss of physical, cognitive and sexual capacity, loss of the capacity to work and to perform other tasks and functions, and dependency on medical treatment and renal therapy, in addition to physical changes and body image, and diet and fluid restrictions associated with the treatment. 9 Therefore, those living with CKD must adapt not only to the disease and its treatment, but also to the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual problems arising from this process, 10 which are situations that directly impact patients' QOL.…”

Objective: to identify factors associated with the quality of life/spirituality, religion and personal beliefs of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.Method: correlational cross-sectional study. The following instruments were applied through individual interviews: the WHOQOL-Bref, the WHOQOL-SRPB, along with a questionnaire to characterize the participants. The sample consisted of 110 participants with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Descriptive analysis was performed along with univariate and multiple logistic regression to identify associated factors.Results: low level of albumin was mainly associated with the "physical" and "social relationships" domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Participants without an occupation presented the greatest compromise in the domains "Connectedness to a spiritual being or force" and "Awe". In the domain "spiritual strength", participants worth an occupation presented higher chances of low quality of life.Conclusion: the factors associated with the domains of quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis were: occupation, marital status, sex, education, religion, levels of hematocrit and albumin, and overall health. FATORES ASSOCIADOS À QUALIDADE DE VIDA DE PACIENTES EM HEMODIÁLISE RESUMOObjetivo: identificar fatores associados à qualidade de vida/espiritualidade, religião e crenças pessoais de pacientes que apresentam doença renal crônica e estão em hemodiálise.Método: trata-se de estudo correlacional, de corte transversal. Realizou-se entrevista individual, com aplicação dos instrumentos WHOQOL-bref, WHOQOL-SRPB e instrumento de caracterização. A amostra foi composta por 110 participantes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise. Foi realizada análise descritiva e de regressão logística univariada e múltipla, sendo esta última para identificação dos fatores associados.Resultados: o valor inferior da albumina foi associado, especificamente, aos domínios "físico" e "relações sociais" do WHOQOL-bref. Participantes sem ocupação possuíam maior comprometimento no domínio "conexão a um ser ou força espiritual" e "admiração". No domínio "força espiritual", os participantes sem ocupação apresentaram maiores chances de baixa qualidade de vida. Conclusão LOS FACTORES ASOCIADOS CON LA CALIDAD DE VIDA DE LOS PACIENTES EN HEMODIÁLISIS RESUMENObjetivo: identificar los factores asociados a la calidad de vida/espiritualidad, la religión y las creencias personales de los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en hemodiálisis.Método: se trata de un estudio correlacional de corte transversal.

Abstract:The use of reliable instruments is an ethical condition to exert psychological evaluation. The aim of the study was to investigate the validity of the Zulliger test in the evaluation of elderly with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with focus on cognitive constructs and interpersonal relationships of elderly with Chronic Kidney Disease; and investigate the relationship with external variables. Palavras-chave: técnicas projetivas, avaliação psicológica, doenças crônicas, idosos El Zulliger-SC con Ancianos en Hemodiálisis y la Relación Entre Variables ExternasResumen: El uso de instrumentos seguros es condición ética para el ejercicio de la evaluación psicológica. Se buscó evidenciar la utilidad del Zulliger para evaluar ancianos con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC); y verificar la relación con variables externas. Los 60 participantes, 30 del grupo clínico (GC) y 30 del grupo no clínico (GNC), contestaron un protocolo sociodemográfico, el Mini Examen del Estado Mental y el Zulliger en el Sistema comprensivo. El GC presentó caída de las variables Xu% (p = 0,031, d = 0,58), R (p = 0,002, d = 0,78), Fd (p = 0,021, d = 0,65) y aislamiento (p = 0,006, d = 0,61), elevación de X-% y PHR>GHR. Hubo asociación positiva entre tiempo del diagnostico y apoyo familiar (rho = 0,403, p = 0,027). Se ratifica la relevancia del Zulliger y apoyo familiar como potenciador de salud.
