Assessment of the quality of life of patients undergoing haemodialysis

Abstract

Introduction. This work is an attempt to assess the quality of life of patients undergoing haemodialysis. This due to the severity and persistentity of the disease causes serious burdens. Therefore, the quality of life can vary depending on the methods of treatment used, age, support coming, but also the length of the disease.

Aim. The purpose of this work is to assess the quality of life of the dialysis patient.

Material and methods. work uses a diagnostic survey method. To this end, its own survey questionnaire and the SF 36 questionnaire were developed. As a result, 100 people were invited to the study and indicated their own experiences with the disease.

Results. Studies have shown that people react differently to the disease. This depends on age, but also on concomitant diseases. In addition, it must not be forgotten that, for example, work and the number of things that need to be adapted to living conditions causes patients to assess their lives differently. Most often it is an average or good rating.

Conclusions. Based on the studies carried out, it has been shown that young people are more struggling with the disease. The same applies to emotional states. Some people supported by loved ones will better cope with the disease, and others worse. This may depend on their responsibilities, but also on their plans for life. In addition, many of the sick are elderly, and therefore they are struggling with numerous accompanying diseases. However, despite many modern treatments, the life of patients is limited to some extent.
