Abstract :
Introduction:
World-wide, chronic kidney disease is a serious
issue. Chronic kidney disease affects both industrialised
and developing nations, therefore the number of CKD
sufferers is rising daily. Chronic renal disease claims the
lives of millions of people. The majority of those in need
of hemodialysis or kidney transplantation in poor
nations face a significant financial burden. Over a
million individuals every year die from untreated renal
failure in another 112 nations where many people cannot
afford any form of care. A research study titled "A
study to assess the quality of Life among patient
undergoing hemodialysis with a view to develop an
information booklet on improving quality of life at
Sharda Hospital, Greater Noida.
Objectives of the Study:
Objectives of the study were to assess the quality of
life among patient undergoing hemodialysis and to find
the association between the quality of life among patients
undergoing hemodialysis with selected demographic
variables.
Methodology:
A quantitative research approach was used and the
research design adopted for the presented study was
descriptive cross sectional research design. The target
population for the study were patients undergoing
hemodialysis at Sharda hospital. Sample size was 60. A
45 items tool was developed which includes demographic
profile and Kidney Disease and Quality of Life
(KDQOL-SFTM) Assessment tool to assess the quality of
life. Data analysis was done on the basis of objectives and
hypothesis of study. Health belief model was used as a
conceptual framework for the study.The collected data was analysed by using
descriptive and inferential statistics.The mean
score related to health was 12.9±3.4, the mean score
related to pain was 9.87±4.95, the mean score related to
feelings was 9.43±3.38, the mean score related to
behavior was 8.77±3.30, the mean score related to kidney
disease was 17.97±3.54, the mean score related to effects
of kidney disease was 10.13±4.34 and the mean score
related to satisfaction with care was 24.82±0.81.Conclusion:
The most popular form of treatment for chronic
renal disease is hemodialysis. Physicians, nurses, and
dietitians regularly assess the quality of care, but
it's also important to look at the patient's
quality of life while they're receiving hemodialysis.
Subjectively, the sample of hemodialysis patients'
overall quality of life was judged as being relatively high,with the most satisfaction being found in the quality of
care.
