Avaliação da qualidade de vida de pacientes portadores de doença renal crônica em tratamento hemodialítico em uma clínica satélite em João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease is a pathology that stands out in the epidemiological scenario, due to its increasing incidence and prevalence rates. Changes imposed by the disease and its treatment significantly compromise the quality of life (QOL) of affected patients. The objective of the work is to evaluate the QOL of patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This is a cross-sectional study with 48 patients in a regular HD program at Clínica do Rim, João Pessoa -Paraíba. Questionnaires of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, clinical-pathological background and KDQOL-SF ™ 1.3 (Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form 1.3) questionnaires were applied. Descriptive analyzes were performed and Spearman's Correlation tests were applied, considering a significance level of 0.05. Among the individuals, 24 (50%) were female. The average age was 60 years old (SD 14.7) and the majority did not engage in paid work (72.9%). The lowest scores obtained were in the dimensions Physical function (45.31; SD 39.16), Weight / Burden of Kidney Disease (46.61; SD 24.08) and General Health (46.68; SD 23.42). The variables age and absences from dialysis sessions showed a negative correlation of moderate intensity when correlated with Physical Function (r = -0.665; p <0.01) and CKD Weight / Overload (r = -0.419; p = 0.03) , respectively. This information can assist in conducting an individualized and person-centered clinical approach.
