Hope is important for patients with end-stage renal disease receiving haemodialysis (HD) and hope is associated with quality of life (QoL). Studies examining hope among the HD population are limited and, as far as the authors know, have not been undertaken in Jordan.
To examine levels of hope and QoL and to examine the association between hope and QoL in HD patients in Jordan.
A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 202 patients from six different dialysis centres was recruited. The World Health Organization QOL-BREF and the Herth Hope Index were used.
Moderate levels of hope (M=32.3±4.1) were reported. Respondents reported low mean scores for the physical domain of QoL (M=48.3±21.1) but not for the psychological and social relationship domains. Higher hope scores were associated with better QoL.
The findings suggest a positive relationship between the level of hope and QoL in people receiving HD. Encouraging hope while caring for HD patients in clinical settings may improve their QoL. Understanding the relationship between hope and QoL may help healthcare providers to improve the quality of care for patients and their families.
希望对于接受血液透析(HD)的终末期肾病患者很重要,希望与生活质量(QoL)有关。检查 HD 人群中希望的研究有限,据作者所知,在约旦尚未进行过此类研究。
检查 HD 患者的希望水平和生活质量,并检查希望与 HD 患者生活质量之间的关系。
采用横断面设计。从六个不同的透析中心招募了 202 名方便样本的患者。使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表(WHOQOL-BREF)和赫特希望指数(HHI)。
报告了中等水平的希望(M=32.3±4.1)。受访者的生活质量的身体领域得分较低(M=48.3±21.1),但心理和社会关系领域的得分不低。较高的希望分数与更好的生活质量相关。
研究结果表明,接受 HD 的人群的希望水平与生活质量之间存在积极关系。在临床环境中照顾 HD 患者时鼓励希望,可能会提高他们的生活质量。了解希望与生活质量之间的关系,可能有助于医疗保健提供者提高对患者及其家人的护理质量。
