Quality of Life and Social Support in Patients with Haemodialysis

Chronic kidney disease is the slow loss of kidney function over time. Haemodialysis is the most common treatment. The objectives of the present research were to study the quality of life and social support of the chronic renal failure patients. The result of 60 adult patients interviews depicts that, female patients do better than males on physical quality of life, further, it is observed that no significant differences were found among males and females on the domains of quality of life and social support. It is suggested that there should be more widespread appreciation of patient and carer psychosocial needs among health professionals in this particular setup.
