Abstract Background: Chronic renal failure causes many physical problems in patients. Hemodialysis treatment and the stress that accompanies the treatment are high and this constitutes a basis for alexithymia. Changes in biomarkers cause physical symptoms and increase individuals’ stress levels. Methods: The sample for the researcher was completed with 72 individuals. Demographic data form, biochemical data form, Hemodialysis Stressor Scale, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale were used in this study. Results: Individuals participating in the study found that the perceived stress levels were high in all dimensions and 59.7% were alexithymic. The relationship between Toronto alexithmia scale and hemodialysis stressor scale and the selected biomarkers was determined (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that stress and alexithymic feelings were high among hemodialysis patients and it was suggested the awareness of health professionals and patients should be increased in areas of coping with stress and emotional management in hemodialysis treatment patients.

Abstract Background: Chronic renal failure causes a number of physical problems in patients. Hemodialysis treatment and the stress brought along by the treatment are high and this circumstance sets the ground for alexithymia. Alexithymic feelings basically emerge as restriction in the world of emotion and thought, and inability to recognize physiological changes. Biomarkers that are indicators of physical change are influential in the stress lives of individuals. They lead to negative changes in the physical and mental lives of patients who have chronic kidney failure and individuals who receive hemodialysis treatment. This research was carried out as a relationship seeker in order to determine the influence of urea, creatinin, sodium, potassium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, albumin, calcium, phosphorus and C-reactive protein biomarkers on stress and alexithymia in individuals, who are diagnosed with chronic renal failure and receive hemodialysis treatment. Methods: The research environment was formed of patients who underwent hemodialysis treatment in a hospital in Turkey. The subject group was completed of 72 individuals. Demographic data form, biochemical data form, Hemodialysis Stressor Scale and Toronto Alexithymia Scale were used in the research. Results: It was found that the levels of perceived stress of individuals who participated in the research were high at all dimensions, and 59.7% were alexithymic. The means of the total scale scores of all patients were calculated as 87.81±13.59 for HSS and 62.46±9.84 for TAS. The relationship between TAS-20 and HSS and selected biomarkers were determined (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that stress and alexithymic feelings were high in patients who received hemodialysis treatment. It was concluded that there is a relationship between C-reactive protein, creatinin, sodium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, potassium from the biomarkers and the scales and scale sub-dimensions. It is necessary to increase the awareness of nurses on the importance of the skills to communicate with individuals who have to cope with stress, manage emotions, and have high stress and emotional deprivation.

The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between hemodialysis frequency stress levels in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at hemodialysis installation of dr. M. Yunus hospital Bengkulu City 2016. The study design used was a descriptive analytic method to explain each variable studied. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the frequency of hemodialysis with the level of stress in patients with chronic renal failure, almost all respondents often undergo hemodialysis in hemodialysis installation in dr. M.Yunus hospital in Bengkulu city, of a total of 67 respondents almost half of respondents suffered moderate stress levels and no significant association between HD frequency with the stress levels of patients with CKD in Haemodialysis installation with p value 0.041 smaller than 0.05. The results of this study are expected to add insight and knowledge about the disease of CKD, and and is expected to continue this research in the context of a deeper and broader variables. Keywords: Frequency, Hemodialysis, Stress Levels.
