The quality of life (QoL) of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is very poor, plausibly due to both psychosocial and medical factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship among psychosocial factors, medical factors, and QoL in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
In total, 55 male and 47 female patients were evaluated (mean age, 57.1 ± 12.0 years). The QoL was evaluated using the Korean version of World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Abbreviated Version. The psychosocial factors were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Zarit Burden Interview. The medical factors were assessed using laboratory examinations. Correlation and canonical correlation analyses were performed to investigate the association patterns.
The QoL was significantly correlated with the psychosocial factors, and to a lesser extent with the medical factors. The medical and psychosocial factors were also correlated. The canonical correlation analysis indicated a correlation between QoL and psychosocial factors (1st canonical correlation = 0.696, P < 0.001; 2nd canonical correlation = 0.421, P = 0.191), but not medical factors (1st canonical correlation = 0.478, P = 0.475; 2nd canonical correlation = 0.419, P = 0.751). The medical and psychosocial factors were also correlated (1st canonical correlation = 0.689, P < 0.001; 2nd canonical correlation = 0.603, P = 0.009).
Psychosocial factors influence QoL in patients with ESRD, and should thus be carefully considered when caring for these patients in clinical practice.
终末期肾病(ESRD)患者的生活质量(QoL)非常差,这可能是由于心理社会和医疗因素共同作用的结果。本研究旨在确定接受血液透析(HD)的 ESRD 患者的心理社会因素、医疗因素与 QoL 之间的关系。
共评估了 55 名男性和 47 名女性患者(平均年龄 57.1±12.0 岁)。使用世界卫生组织生活质量量表简表的韩语版评估 QoL。使用医院焦虑抑郁量表、多维感知社会支持量表、蒙特利尔认知评估量表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和 Zarit 负担访谈评估心理社会因素。使用实验室检查评估医疗因素。进行相关和典型相关分析以探究关联模式。
QoL 与心理社会因素显著相关,与医疗因素的相关性较低。医疗因素和心理社会因素也相互关联。典型相关分析表明 QoL 与心理社会因素之间存在相关性(第 1 典型相关系数=0.696,P<0.001;第 2 典型相关系数=0.421,P=0.191),而与医疗因素无相关性(第 1 典型相关系数=0.478,P=0.475;第 2 典型相关系数=0.419,P=0.751)。医疗因素和心理社会因素也相互关联(第 1 典型相关系数=0.689,P<0.001;第 2 典型相关系数=0.603,P=0.009)。
心理社会因素影响 ESRD 患者的 QoL,因此在临床实践中照顾这些患者时应予以重视。
