The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. The sample (n = 349) was selected randomly from the adult, inunit hemodialysis patient population of 90% of the counties of Illinois, with the exception of those dialyzed by the Veterans Administration. The findings indicate that the patients in this study were satisfied with their lives in general. Nevertheless, the results also indicated that continued efforts are needed to improve the health and financial independence of hemodialysis patients.
