Background. During the last few years in the world as well as in Poland the number of patients with chronic renal disease is observed to grow. Thanks to the great development that was made in the field of dialysis therapy all the patients despite of their age are provided with a renal substitution therapy. Most of the dialyzed patients are constituted by elder people, not meeting the renal transplantation criteria. They have to be treated with special care because of the coexistence of many chronic diseases. Often the coexistence of many somatic illnesses and the dialysis therapy influence the functional efficiency that remains restricted, especially with elder patients.
Objectives. The aim of these studies was to evaluate the functional efficiency in elderly patients treated with hemodialysis.
Material and methods. The study involved a group of 48 respondents aged between 66 and 90 years. Standardized ADL and IADL scales were used and also the final part of the questionnaire containing the demographic information.
Conclusions. From the undertaken research such conclusions were made: 1. For the patients the biggest number of problems among everyday tasks made taking a bath, the smallest number of problems was made with nutrition. In performing complex everyday tasks the biggest problem for the patients was connected with performing small home repairs. 2. Together with the increase of the education increased the level of independence in the evaluation of the basic everyday tasks. The biggest independence showed the patients with higher education. Also in the evaluation of the complex everyday tasks the patients with higher education showed bigger independence. 3. The period of the dialysis did not influence the functional efficiency of the respondents in the range of evaluation of the basic as well as complex everyday tasks.
