Abstract :
Background:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive
disease that affects more than 800 million people
worldwide, representing more than 10% of the global
population. It is more common in older people, women,
and racial minorities, as well as in people with diabetes
mellitus and high blood pressure. CKD has become one
of the top causes of mortality worldwide, and is one of
the few non-communicable diseases that have seen an
increase in related deaths over the last few decades. The
high number of affected people and the serious negative
consequences of chronic disease should lead to increased
efforts to improve prevention and treatment efforts.
Around the world, there are an estimated 1,800-1,600
extra deaths per 10000 patients who are on dialysis.

The aim of the study is to determine the
psychological distress and self-esteem among dialysis
patients.

utilized to conduct a research study among 30 dialysis
patients. Convenient sampling techniques were utilized
