“…2007). Patients who undergo dialysis treatment experience psychosocial problems along with several life activity limitations such as liquid limitations and activity restraints urged by the disease and the treatment, which in turn gives rise to depression (Baydoğan & Dağ 2008, Kursat et al. 2008).…”

It is vitally important that nurses in dialysis centres evaluate the psychosocial conditions of patients with renal failure undergoing haemodialysis treatment so as to enhance the quality of nursing care. It is also fundamental for the success of holistic care that nurses properly assess the possibility of depression and suicide as well as coping strategies. This study sheds light on the holistic evaluations of dialysis patients.

“…The TDQ might be considered a more valid tool than the BDI for the assessment of depression in Taiwanese patients. Chen et al (2003) found that the prevalence of depression was 33·4% (TDQ scores above 19), and Kursat et al (2008) found that the prevalence of depression was 78·8%. Although the prevalence of depression varied widely between these two studies, much of the variance seemed to be related to cultural differences between the study populations.…”

Depression is a common emotional problem among end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, but there is a paucity of research comparing the prevalence of depression between patients in different types of renal replacement therapies in Taiwan. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of depression among ESRD patients in Taiwan who received different treatment regimens, and to determine the factors related to depression among these participants across various treatment regimens. A convenience sample of 342 participants was recruited from two medical centres. Participants were diagnosed with ESRD and received one of three renal replacement therapies, and screened for depression using the Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ). The prevalence of depression (defined as TDQ score above 19) varied by treatment type: 36·3% (27/102) among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, 18·5% (17/92) among haemodialysis (HD) patients and 14·8% (21/142) among transplant patients. There were significant differences in the TDQ scores between the three treatment types (p < 0·001), indicating that participants' depression status varied by treatment type. Prevalence of depression among PD patients was higher than among HD and transplant patients. Logistic regression analysis revealed that treatment duration (p < 0·01) was a predictor of PD patients' depression, whereas self‐reported health status was a predictor of depression among both HD patients (p < 0·01) and transplant patients (p < 0·05). Screening for and treatment of depression should be important parts of the standard care of ESRD patients. Pre‐ and post‐therapy counselling by nurses and early recognition of emotional difficulties may also help these patients adapt to psychosocial stressors.

“…first reported that depression scores were correlated with LVMI and associated with eccentric LVH in chronic HD patients. However, in that study, the depression symptoms were measured at a single time and multivariate analysis for the independent relationship of depression symptoms with LVH was not done 21 . In our study, persistent depression symptoms were independently related to LVMI after adjustment for age, sex, systolic BP, diastolic BP, diabetes and interdialytic weight gain.…”
