Related factors of quality of life among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Binh Dan hospital, Vietnam

Tóm tắt

Background: Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) represents a significant medical and socio-economic challenge, particularly in developing countries like Vietnam, where its prevalence is on the rise. CKF patients undergoing regular hemodialysis face considerable challenges across physical, mental, social, and environmental dimensions, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their quality of life (QoL). Objectives: This study aims to assess the socio-economic, demographic, and clinical factors influencing the quality of life (QoL) among patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design, data were collected from 330 hemodialysis patients at Binh Dan Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam between March and June 2024. QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument, which evaluates four domains: physical health, mental health, social relationships, and the environment. Results: The findings revealed that patients experienced moderate QoL, with mean scores of 3.12 (± 0.87) for physical health, 2.98 (± 0.83) for mental health, 3.14 (± 0.82) for social relationships, and 3.33 (± 0.77) for the environment. Correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship between gender and mental health QoL, with female patients reporting lower scores. Furthermore, the frequency of dialysis sessions negatively impacted mental health outcomes, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Conclusions: By identifying key predictors of QoL among CKF patients, emphasizing the importance of integrating physical, psychological, and social dimensions into patient care. The findings advocate for context-specific, holistic interventions to enhance the health and well-being of hemodialysis patients in Vietnam.
