Abstract
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that has an irreversible impact on physical, psychological, and social health, on health economics, as well as on lifestyle.
Objective: To measure quality of life from the perspective of patients with CKD receiving replacement treatment through peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis in a Mexican Institute for Social Security’s (IMSS) regional general hospital.
Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive study with 42 patients from the Dialysis and Hemodialysis Service. A version in Spanish of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQoL-SF) questionnaire was administered; it includes 43 specific items for patients with kidney disease and dialysis, plus 36 items from the SF-36 questionnaire, which also includes an item on general health. The SPSS program, version 23, was used.
Results: 88% of patients received hemodialysis treatment, and 12% peritoneal dialysis treatment. 50% of patients reported feeling a little bit limited in carrying out activities on a typical day, and 36% felt very limited, especially when performing intense efforts, such as running or lifting heavy objects.
Conclusions: A comprehensive care approach is recommended with emphasis on its psychological and emotional dimensions, especially in patients in stages 3 and 4 of CKD, with the incorporation of a collaborative interprofessional care program.
