Background: Hemodialysis patients deal with some psychological and social problems. These problems may be the predictors of hope. This study aimed to determine the psychosocial, spiritual, and biomedical predictors of hope in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 hemodialysis patients in hemodialysis centers affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Adult Hope Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Personal Resources Questionnaire-85, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and biomedical markers were used for data collection. The data were entered into the SPSS 22 software and were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean score of hope was 28.54 (SD=5.27). The mean scores of depression, anxiety, and stress were 17.87 (SD=7.62), 13.12 (SD=3.47), and 12.99 (SD=3.88), respectively. The mean scores of social support and spiritual well-being were 126.35 (SD=17.53) and 74.02 (SD=5.84), respectively. The means of biomedical markers including interdialytic weight gain, urea nitrogen, creatinine, phosphate, sodium, and potassium were 2.10 (SD=1.04), 51.55 (SD=13.10), 6.98 (SD=2.48), 4.71 (SD=1.08), 139.32 (SD=4.91), and 4.87 (SD=0.93), respectively. The results revealed a significant association between hope and depression, anxiety, stress, social support, and spiritual well-being (p<0.05). In addition, stress (β=−0.14, p=0.01), anxiety (β=−0.20, p=0.002), and social support (β=0.49, p<0.001) were the predictors of hope. Conclusion: The hemodialysis patients reported moderate levels of hope, social support, anxiety, and depression. In addition, most of them adhered to dietary and fluid restrictions. Considering the association between hope and social support, spiritual well-being, anxiety, depression, and stress, using some interventions regarding the mentioned variables might increase hope among hemodialysis patients.

“…65 Hope was enhanced by perceived social support. 25 Concern about waiting in an Australian study was higher among those of younger age, lower socio-economic status and born elsewhere. 66 Among the 45 studies that assessed impact and/or determinants of the impact of waiting on mental health, few (6, 13.3%) reported the race, ethnicity or culture of participants or assessed the influence of those factors on mental health while waiting (4, 8.9%).…”

Background Waiting for procedures delayed by COVID‐19 may cause anxiety and related adverse consequences. Objective To synthesize research on the mental health impact of waiting and patient‐centred mitigation strategies that could be applied in the COVID‐19 context. Methods Using a scoping review approach, we searched 9 databases for studies on waiting lists and mental health and reported study characteristics, impacts and intervention attributes and outcomes. Results We included 51 studies that focussed on organ transplant (60.8%), surgery (21.6%) or cancer management (13.7%). Most patients and caregivers reported anxiety, depression and poor quality of life, which deteriorated with increasing wait time. The impact of waiting on mental health was greater among women and new immigrants, and those of younger age, lower socio‐economic status, or with less‐positive coping ability. Six studies evaluated educational strategies to develop coping skills: 2 reduced depression (2 did not), 1 reduced anxiety (2 did not) and 2 improved quality of life (2 did not). In contrast, patients desired acknowledgement of concerns, peer support, and periodic communication about wait‐list position, prioritization criteria and anticipated procedure date. Conclusions Findings revealed patient‐centred strategies to alleviate the mental health impact of waiting for procedures. Ongoing research should explore how to optimize the impact of those strategies for diverse patients and caregivers, particularly in the COVID‐19 context. Patient or Public Contribution Six patients and four caregivers waiting for COVID‐19‐delayed procedures helped to establish eligibility criteria, plan data extraction and review a draft and final report.

“…Previous studies have shown that high levels of hope can alleviate the negative psychological state of patients and improve their QoL (Alshraifeen et al, 2020; Sun et al, 2014). The extant research on hope level mainly focuses on malignant tumours and chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease and acute myocardial infarction (Berendes et al, 2010; Goktas et al, 2019). Few have investigated the level of hope in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.…”

Liver cirrhosis is a pathological stage characterized by diffuse fibrosis, pseudolobule formation, and intrahepatic and extrahepatic vascular proliferation. There are no obvious clinical symptoms during the compensatory period. However, the decompensated period is characterized by portal hypertension and severe liver dysfunction, and patients often die of multiple organ failure due to ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome and canceration (Smith et al., 2019). According to the estimated global liver disease-related mortality in 2015, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer cause approximately 1.16 million and 780,000 deaths every year, ranking 11th and 16th worldwide, respectively; together, they account for 3.5% of total global deaths (Asrani et al., 2019). Because of the long course of disease, poor prognosis, multiple complications and high cost of treatment, patients with liver cirrhosis experience serious physical and mental problems; are prone to anxiety, depression and other negative emotions; and usually adopt negative coping mechanisms to deal with stress events. Such negative psychology may be a huge burden on
