| description | End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) is a chronic kidney disease that requires for Renal
Replacement Therapies (RRT) due to irreversible loss of almost total renal function.
Renal replacement therapy is important to avoid life-threatening complication such as
uremia and heart failure as well as to prolong patients' quality of life by slowing down
the disease progress. The most common RRT opted by patients are Peritoneal Dialysis
(PD) and Haemodialysis (HD). Dialysis treatment however, may also causes highly
abnormal life lead the patient as they experience many changes on physical.
psychological and social functioning that attribute by both the disease process and their
ability to cope with such changes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact ol
dialysis treatment on patients’ quality of life (QoL) and the overall patients' QoL in
Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM). A cross-sectional survey was
conducted among ESRF patients in two medical wards and Haemodialysis Unit.
Hospital USM. Respondent for this study was selected purposively while receiving
dialysis treatment. Data was collected within one month period from 15 February 2013
to 15 March 2013 using a set of questionnaire of which consisted of self-developed and
validated questionnaire, the WHOQOL-BREF (Malay version). Data was analysed
using SPSS version 12.0. Overall. 50 ESRF patients involved in the study (PD. n=17;
HD. n=33). Educational level, occupation and family income were found to be
significantly associated to patients' QoL. The greater dialysis impact of ESRF patients
were psychological and environment. Findings also revealed that ESRF patients' who
had experienced greater impact of dialysis treatment had good QoL score. Both PD and
HD groups had good QoL (62%). Thus, future research is needed to re-evaluate these
findings in further detail. |
