Abstract

Introduction: QUALITY OF LIFE in HEMODIALYSIS patient can be affected by Physical, psychosocial and lifestyle disturbances. It seems that PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT can improve QUALITY OF LIFE in these patients. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the relationship between PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT and QUALITY OF LIFE in HEMODIALYSIS patients.Method: This descriptive - correlational study was conducted with 202 patients with chronic renal failure, recruited through consensus method. They have been under HEMODIALYSIS treatment in one of the HEMODIALYSIS care units, affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using the "Personal Resources Questionnaire 85" (PRQ-85) part 2 and The "Ferrans and Powers QUALITY OF LIFE Index- dialysis version". All statistics were computed using the SPSS software (version 14).Result: Finding indicated that patients had a high PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT (64.9%), good QUALITY OF LIFE (54.0%) and socio-economic condition (p£0.65, r=0.05). PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT was positively correlated with aspects of health and function (r=0.65, p£0.05), socioeconomic (r=0.67, p£0.05), psychological-spiritual (r=0.63, p£0.05), and family subscales of QUALITY OF LIFE (r=0.51, p£0.05). Total QUALITY OF LIFE was also significantly correlated with PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT (r=0.72, p<0.0001).Conclusion: Social support can promote QUALITY OF LIFE by providing HEMODIALYSIS patients, positive experiences, socially rewarding roles, or improved ability to cope with stressful events. Association between QUALITY OF LIFE and PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT indicates the need for giving more attention to support resources of these patients by nurses. Based on these findings, nurses should provide plans to increase PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT in HEMODIALYSIS patients and by this, help the patients to improve QUALITY OF LIFE.
