The purpose of this study was to identify the difference between complications and demographic data of the patients.
The study was conducted from March 4 to May 31, 1985 at two artificial kidney rooms of K. medical center in Seoul. Data were gathered from 29 adult patients during 8 dialyses per one patient on frequency of complications, demographic data(age, sex, economic factors), change of hemodialysis schedule, the situation of patients on hospitalization or outpatient and the extent of state-trait anxiety.
In this study, the difference of frequency of complications according to each factor was identified by t-test. The measuring instrument of anxiety was State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) by Spielberger et al. and standardized STAI for Koreans by Kim et al.
Results are as follows:
1. The hypothesis 1 that there would be significant dfference between demographic data and the frequency of complications on hemodialysis was partially supported. There were no significant differences in frequency of complications according to sex and age. But the patient group of patients with income showed a significantly lower incidence or complications than the group of patients without income(p<.05).
2. The hypothesis 2 that there would be significant difference between the group with change in dialysis schedule and the group without change was rejected.
3. The hypothesis 3 that there would be significant difference in frequency of complications between the situation of patients on hospitalization or outpatient was accepted.
Namely, the situation of patients on hospitalization showed a significant higher frequency of complications than the situation of outpatient (p<. 01).
4. The hypothesis 4 that there would be significant difference in frequency of complications according to the extent of anxiety was partially supported.
The higher state-anxiety group was found to have higher incidence of complications than the lower state-anxiety grcup(p. <01) and the higher trait-anxiety groin) sho~icd I trend to have higher incidence of complications than the lower trait-anxiety group.
5. In addition, other analysis showed that total frequencies of complications Nvere 259 among total number of 232 hemodialysis. Therefore mean frequency of complications was 1.12 per hemodialysis. The ranking order and distribution of complications are as follows: pain/discomfort
(19.31%´), nausea/vomiting(14.29,%), dizziness (13.90/c`/0, hypertention/hvpotention(13.51?%), headache(10.81go).
