Abstract

|
Purpose: This study was attempted to provide the foundations for the nursing intervention program that could improve hemodialysis patient’s quality of life by examining influences of family support, self-efficacy and fatigue on quality of life among hemodialysis patients.
Methods: We have surveyed 200 patients that aged 18 or older being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are receiving hemodialysis treatment in three general hospitals equipped more than 400 beds, one specialized dialysis clinics located in city M. Using the SPSS 17.0 windows program, gathered data were analyzed by number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan, Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis.
Results: We found the factors that had great influences on patient’s quality of life were family support (β=.155, t=2.18, p=.031), fatigue (β=-.487, t=-7.73, p<.001), and monthly income (β=.147, t=2.36, p=.019). Explanatory power of this model was 49.6%.
Conclusion: The quality of life of the hemodialysis patients on hemodialysis is affected by family support, fatigue, and monthly income. The higher monthly income, family support and the less fatigue, the more likely they can improve their quality of life.
