Abstract Background and Aims Patients with End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) usually tend to have lower Quality of Life (QoL) compared to the general population. The purpose of this study was to determine the QoL and quality of sleep in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and its relation with medical factors. Method This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 145 patients on MHD in two hospitals affiliated to Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Patients' QoL was assessed via KDQOL-SF questionnaire. For sleep quality, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI) was used. Demographic information of patients, type of vascular access, history of dialysis, and frequency and duration of each dialysis session were collected. The average results of related laboratory tests in the last six months, were also recorded for each patient. Results Of 145 MHD patients, 81 (55%) were men and 64 were women. Most patients (53%) were between 30 and 60 years old. Illiteracy was present in 48 (33%) patients. Unemployed patients accounted for 70% of patients (99) and most of the participants (83.44%) lived in the city. Of 145 patients, 102 (70.34%) were married, 20 (13.79%) were single, and the rest were widows. The mean dialysis adequacy of patients was 1.14, and 53% had dialysis adequacy less than 1.2. The average quality of life score was 66.00 ±13, suggesting a high QoL in this group of patients. literacy was significantly associated with QoL score (P<0.001). Likewise, there was significant association between QoL score and income level (p <.001), the effect of Kidney disease on life (p <.001), working status (p <.009), social functioning (p <.046), and marital status (p <.001). The quality of social interactions was significantly associated with residence location (p <.001). On the other hand, the presence of Kidney disease burden, sexual dysfunction, unemployment, role emotional and role physical, was associated with low QoL scores. We found a significant relationship between hemoglobin level and cognitive function (p <.001, r= .075). In addition, significant relationships between phosphorus levels and physical function (p=.021) and role emotional (P:0.04) were observed. Seemingly, phosphorus levels were inversely related with sexual function in our patients (p <0.001, r= - .013). Our data also suggested that serum calcium levels may have an impact on the patients’ social function (p=.038). The mean score of sleep quality was 7.00±4.00. Most of the patients (61%) had a PSQI>5, indicating a poor sleep quality. High sleep quality (PSQI<5) is significantly associated with low age and high-income level. There was also a significant relationship between the average sleep quality and general health (p <0.001, r= -0.206), social function (p= 0.018, r=-0.208), and energy fatigue (p <0.001, r= -0.309). Conclusion Our study showed that a wide range of determinants, including demographic, socioeconomic and disease-related factors can significantly influence the QoL and sleep quality in ESKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Among them, modifiable factors including laboratory test results, socioeconomic determinants and psychosocial status should be addressed and accordingly treated and solved. Hence, an improvement in both the QoL and sleep quality of maintenance hemodialysis patients will be expected.

Abstract Study Objectives This study aims to assess whether the nocturnal wear of dentures has an effect on the quality of sleep and oral-health-related quality of life of the edentulous elderly with untreated sleep apnea. Methods A single-blind randomized cross-over design with two sequences and two periods was used. Participants (n = 77) were randomly assigned either to sequence 1 (nocturnal wear followed by nocturnal nonwear of the denture for 30–30 days) or sequence 2 (nocturnal nonwear followed by nocturnal wear of denture for 30–30 days). The primary sleep outcome was the quality of sleep, assessed through sleep fragmentation measured as Apnea–Hypopnea Index (AHI) and respiratory arousal from portable polysomnography. Secondary outcomes were daytime sleepiness, sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) and oral-health-related quality of life measured by validated questionnaires. Results The mean paired difference in AHI scores for the period of wearing versus not wearing dentures at night was small 1.0 event per hour (p = 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) = −2.0 to 4.1). The mean respiratory arousal index was higher when wearing dentures at night than when not wearing dentures at night, with a mean paired difference of 2.3 events per hour (p = 0.05; 95% CI = 0.0 to 4.6). No difference in sleepiness and PSQI were noted. Wearing dentures at night resulted in a statistically significantly higher mean score of psychological discomfort when compared to not wearing dentures at night. Conclusions The results provide some support to usual practice guidelines to remove dentures at night in edentulous elders suffering from sleep apnea. Clinical trial registration NCT01868295.

Abstract Background Patients on hemodialysis have less exercise capacity and lower health-related quality of life than healthy individuals without chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the factors that may influence exercise behavior among these patients is their perception of exercise benefits and barriers. The present study aimed to assess the perception of hemodialysis patients about exercise benefits and barriers and its association with patients’ health-related quality of life. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 227 patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomly selected from two dialysis centers. Data collection was carried out using dialysis patient-perceived exercise benefits and barriers scale (DPEBBS) and kidney disease quality of life short form (KDQOL-SF). Data were analyzed using SPSS software ver. 21. Results The mean score of DPEBBS was 68.2 ± 7.4 (range: 24 to 96) and the mean KDQOL score was 48.9 ± 23.3 (range: 0 to 100). Data analysis by Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive and significant relationship between the mean scores of DPEBBS and the total score of KDQOL (r = 0.55, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a positive relationship between the mean scores of DPEBBS and the mean score of all domains of KDQOL. Conclusion Although most of the patients undergoing hemodialysis had a positive perception of the exercise, the majority of them do not engage in exercise; it could be contributed to the barriers of exercise such as tiredness, muscle fatigue, and fear of arteriovenous fistula injury. Providing exercise facilities, encouraging the patients by the health care provider to engage in exercise programs, and incorporation of exercise professionals into hemodialysis centers could help the patients to engage in regular exercise.

Background Chronic kidney disease is a common clinical problem that endangers human physical and mental health and life safety. It eventually evolves into end-stage renal disease, and the incidence has increased year by year. It has been reported that the incidence of chronic kidney disease in China is about 10 %, and most patients need to carry out dialysis to maintain life. Objective To observe the influence of an individualized management model based on shared decision-making (SDM) between doctors, nurses and patients on the health outcomes and quality of life of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 100 end-stage renal disease patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis intervention in the Department of Nephrology, Changyisha City Fourth Hospital from May 2020 to May2021 were selected. According to the order of admission, they were randomly divided into control groups (n=50)) And the observation group (n=50). The control group received conventional management mode intervention, and the observation group received SDM-based individualized management mode intervention. The blood pressure and fluid control of the two groups were recorded, and the self-management behavior scale for hemodialysis patients (SMSH), the satisfaction survey questionnaire for patient participation in medical decision-making, and the kidney disease-related quality of life scale (KDTA) were used to evaluate the self-management ability of the two groups. Satisfaction and quality of life. Results After the intervention, fluid intake, weight gain between dialysis intervals, and the number of dialysis-related complications in the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05), while the number of dialysis-related complications in the control group decreased (P<0.05), but fluid The intake and weight gain between dialysis intervals were similar to those before the intervention (P>0.05), and the fluid control in the observation group improved more significantly than the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the control group were similar to those before the intervention (P>0.05). The blood pressure of the observation group improved more significantly than the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, the two groups of SMSH scale scores (problem solving, self-care, partnership, emotional processing, etc.), satisfaction scores (information, communication and negotiation, decision-making, total satisfaction and confidence, etc.), quality of life scores (symptoms, kidney disease, etc.) The impact of kidney disease, the burden of kidney disease, work status, cognitive function, social quality, sleep, social support, etc.) have been greatly improved (P<0.05), and the SMSH scale score, satisfaction score, quality of life of the observation group after intervention The score improved more significantly than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intervention of maintenance hemodialysis patients based on an individualized management model of SDM can improve the self-management ability and satisfaction of patients, improve the quality of life, and reduce the occurrence of adverse events and complications.

Abstract Background and Aims Sleep disturbances are more common in patients with chronic renal failure and on dialysis than in the general population. They affect their mental health and quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sleep disorders of patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Method We report the results of a descriptive cross-sectional study in 27 patients on PD in order to assess the quality of sleep in these patients and its relation with mental health and quality of life. Sleep quality was performed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess origin and extent of sleep disorders. Anxiety-depressive disorders were assessed using the HAD (Hospital anxiety and depression) scale. The quality of life (QOL) measurement was performed by the SF36 and KDQoL. Results We included 15 men and 12 women with an average age of 45.74 years (21–77). Eleven patients were on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and 16 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The mean duration of dialysis was 45.77 ± 25 months. Poor quality of sleep was reported in 14 patients. The mean PSQI was 7.22 ± 4.87. The most affected components were sleep duration and usual sleep efficiency. Depression was objectified in 22.22% of patients and 26% of patients had anxiety. Impaired quality of sleep was associated with decreased quality of life. The components of the physical dimension of quality of life: limitation due to physical condition, physical pain were significantly lower in dialysis patients with good quality of sleep (p=0.014, p= 0.033 respectively) The mental dimension component of QOL of SF36: relationship to others, limitation due to mental condition was also lower in patients with sleep disturbances (p=0.039, p= 0.036 respectively). Symptoms and problems, as well as the effects and the burden of kidney disease were not associated with poor quality of sleep. Impaired sleep quality was also not significantly associated with depression or anxiety in our series. Conclusion Sleep disturbances are common in PD patients and are associated with decreased quality of life. Therefore, they must be taken into account in the therapeutic measures recommended in order to improve the quality of life of these patients and reduce morbidity and mortality.

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic harmed the world community including hemodialysis patients. It has affected the physical and psychological status of hemodialysis patients. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the dialysis adequacy, interdialytic weight gain, and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 105 regular hemodialysis patients from three hemodialysis centers in Riau Province, Indonesia. The patients were purposively recruited. Data on hemodialysis adequacy and interdialytic weight gain were collected in April–May 2020 using an observation sheet, while the quality of life was measured using SF 36. To analyze the data, Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression were performed. RESULTS: Within the sample of 53 male patients was 50.5% and 52 female patients was 49.5%. The mean score of dialysis adequacy during April–May was 1.75, while the mean IDWG was 2.2 kg, and the mean quality of life was 91.51. There was a relationship between adequacy and IDWG (p = 0.002), and between IDWG and quality of life (p =0.015). There was no relationship between adequacy and quality of life (p = 0.360). CONCLUSION: IDWG influenced the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Health-care professionals need to help patients to keep their IDWG in the normal range to survive within COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to assess the burden of care and its relationship with sleep quality of cancer patients’ caregivers.Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in a referral center of cancer in Zanjan, northwest of Iran. 135 caregivers of cancer patients were recruited through convenience sampling method. The data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, Novak and Guest’s caregiver burden inventory and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The mean (± SD) age of the participants was 39.71 (± 10.74) years. The mean (± SD) burden of care and sleep quality of the participants was 45.22 (± 17.75) and 8.88 (± 4.21), respectively. It was found that there is a significant positive relationship between burden of care and quality of sleep scores (r = 0.65, P < 0.001).Conclusion: cancer patients’ caregivers endure a remarkable burden of care and their sleep quality is undesirable. Results indicated that an increase in the burden of care reduces the caregiver’s quality of sleep. High burden of care and poor sleep quality may reduce the quality of the provided care that increase the costs and weakens the disease prognosis. According to the study results, reducing burden of care is an effective strategy regarding improving the caregivers’ quality of sleep that can improve the quality of provided cares by caregivers.
