This study examined variables that may influence the employment potential of hemodialysis patients. The study group consisted of currently employed (n = 20) and currently unemployed (n = 20) hemodialysis patients. All subjects had been employed before starting dialysis and were currently judged physically able to work by their physicians. No significant differences were found in job satisfaction or job importance before starting dialysis. The groups did not differ on biophysiological status or perception of health. However, a greater number of the unemployed had held jobs requiring heavier physical labor and reported that uremic symptoms prevented them from working. They also encountered more job discrimination due to illness and had a greater loss of career and life goals. No significant differences were found between the two groups in life satisfaction or dependence. In both groups the more independent subjects reported greater satisfaction with life.
本研究调查了可能影响血液透析患者就业潜力的变量。研究组包括目前在职的（n = 20）和目前失业的（n = 20）血液透析患者。所有受试者在开始透析前都有工作，且目前医生判断他们身体能够工作。开始透析前，两组在工作满意度或工作重要性方面未发现显著差异。两组在生理状态或健康认知方面也没有差异。然而，失业者中从事体力劳动较重工作的人数更多，他们表示尿毒症症状使他们无法工作。他们还因疾病遭遇了更多的工作歧视，职业和生活目标的丧失也更大。两组在生活满意度或依赖程度方面未发现显著差异。在两组中，独立性较强的受试者对生活的满意度更高。
