Abstract
THE AIM. To assess quality of life (QOL) of hemodialysis (HD) patients using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SFTM) questionnaire including specific for dialysis therapy sections.
PATIENTS AND METHODS. The KDQOL-SF questionnaire was administered to 192 HD patients. RESULTS. It was shown that HD patients experienced low satisfaction with the employment – 0,0 [0,0–50,0] (Me[IQR]) on the scale of «work status». A low score on the scale of "burden of kidney disease" was registered – 31,3 [18,8–50,0]. The highest scores were obtained on the scales of «cognitive functioning» 86,9 [66,7–93,3], «quality of social interaction» – 80,0 [66,7–93,3], «social functioning» – 62,5 [50,0–87,5], mental health – 60,8±18,1 (M±SD). Among the most significant stress factors – limited ability to travel and fluid restriction (74% and 66% of patients, respectively). The most bothersome problems were muscle soreness (50% pateients), fatigue (45%), dizziness (44%), itchy skin (41%), shortness of breath (40%), dry skin (34%).
CONCLUSION. The KDQOL-SFTM questionnaire which takes about 20 minutes to complete provides important information about the limited opportunities and major concerns of dialysis patients.
