Abstract

Aims: HEMODIALYSIS patients are faced with many STRESSors during their life that can be related to their quality of life (QOL). Therefore, the present study aimed at determine the relation between quality of life and STRESS in HEMODIALYSIS patients. Materials & Methods: This descriptive correlation study was done on 100 HEMODIALYSIS patients (53 men and 47 women) selected by census method from 2 HEMODIALYSIS centers of Sari in 2008. Data were collected by 3 questionnaires (demoghraphic feature, SF-36 quality of life and Baldree STRESS) in three months. At first, quality of life and then, patients’ STRESS were studied and the variables described. Then, the relation between them was determined by statistical methods.Results: 42% of patients with partial comfortable life had moderate tension. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant linear relationship between quality of life and degree of tension (r=0.802); Means that, by increasing tension, quality of life declines (p<0.001). Also pearson correlation coefficient indicated a positive correlation between the number of HEMODIALYSIS per week and the history of dialysis (p= 0.001). 69% of patients had the background of 1-5 years of HEMODIALYSIS and 74% of them were dialyzed in the morning three times a week.Conclusion: By increasing the STRESS, quality of such patients' life decreases. Therefore, the nurses and the other members of medication team should identify and reduce STRESSor factors for HEMODIALYSIS patients that can help improving their QOL.
