Introduction: The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who undergo hemodialysis is increasing every year. Various attempts have been made to maximize the process of hemodialysis, one of which is by providing complementary therapy with music as therapy and through the administration of aromatherapy. The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of the use of music therapy and aromatherapy in a patient diagnosed with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: The literature review followed on from the identification of the interventions then the studies were identified by keyword according to the topic and title. There were 15 articles that discussed the effect of music therapy and aromatherapy on patients undergoing hemodialysis. The design RCT was 7 articles, 3 quasi-experimental articles, and 5 clinical trial articles.Results: Music can raise the endorphin and serotonin levels and reduce the catecholamine levels, so it can change the respiratory rate and oxygen saturation, improve their quality of sleep and reduce fatigue.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that music therapy and aromatherapy have a positive effect on patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that causes a progressive decrease in kidney function, which can end in kidney failure disease and will have an impact on decreasing quality of life. Previous research has shown that by giving vitamins B1, B6, and B12 can improve quality of life. Aim: To measure changes in quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease who were given vitamins B1, B6, and B12 parenterally. Material and Methods: This study used quasi experimental (one group pre and post test) in 117 patients who were selected in Bethesda Hospital and Panti Rapih Hospital Yogyakarta hemodialysis unit. Patients were given vitamins B Combination injections twice a week in each hemodialysis for 4 weeks. Quality of life was measured by SF-8 questionnaire on the first day of hemodialysis before given vitamins (pre-test) and on the 30th day, after eight injection of vitamins B1, B6, and B12 (post test). Results: The mean age of observed patients were 51.58 ± 12.51 years. From 117 patients, 73 patients (62,4%) were male and 44 patients (37.6%) were female. The improvement in overall quality of life in patients was not significant (p= 0.055). Quality of life improvement was only significant in the male group (p = 0.016). Conclusion: There was no significant difference after 4-weeks-injections of vitamins B Combination to the overall quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. But there was found a significant improvement in quality of life in the male patients with chronic kidney disease who had hemodialysis. Keywords : chronic kidney disease, quality of life, vitamins B1, B6, and B12, SF-8 questionnaire.

Individuals with higher self-efficacy move their personal and social resources proactively to maintain and improve the quality and length of their lives so that they experience a better quality of life. Objectives: the purpose of this study was to find the correlation between self efficacy and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis at RSUD Semarang Regency. Metode: This type of research was descriptive correlation with cross sectional approach. The samples in this study more 76 people with total sampling technique. The data collection tool for self efficacy was measured by General Self-Efficacy scale, for quality of life with WHOQoL-BREF. Statistical test used Kolmogorov-smirnov. Result: The result showed that self efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease was mostly in moderate category (53,9%), quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease was mostly in good category (68,4%). There was a correlation between self efficacy and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis at RSUD Semarang Regency, the result obtained p-value of 0.000 <α (0,05). Suggestion: Patients with chronic kidney disease can maintain good quality of life by helping to generate positive self-esteem and high self efficacy.

Abstract Background Anemia is one of the common complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is no systematic investigation on the prevalence of anemia in CKD patients and its relationship with the quality of life in China. Methods The data for this study comes from baseline data from the Chinese Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study (C-STRIDE), which recruited predialysis CKD patients in China. The kidney disease quality of life summary (KDQOL-TM) was used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Use linear regression model to estimate the relationship between hemoglobin level and quality of life. Results A total of 2921 patients were included in this study. The adjusted prevalence of hemoglobin (Hb) less than 100 g/L was 10.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.9,11.4%), and showed an increased trend through reduced eGFR levels from 4.0% (95%CI:2.3,5.9%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 23.4% (95%CI:20.5,26.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. The prevalence of anti-anemia treatment was 34.0% (95%CI: 28.7,39.3%) and it is shown by reducing eGFR levels from 15.8% (95%CI:0,36.7%) in the 45-60 ml/min/1.73m2 group to 38.2% (95%CI: 30.7,45.2%) in the 15–29 ml/min/1.73m2 group. All five dimensions of the KDQOL scores in patients with CKD decreased as hemoglobin declined. After multivariable adjustments,the degrees of decrease became somewhat blunted. For example, compared with hemoglobin of ≥130 g/L, regression coefficients in the hemoglobin of < 100 g/L were − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.045) for Symptoms and Problems(S), − 0.047(95%CI: − 0.049,-0.044) for Effects of the Kidney Disease(E), − 0.207(95%CI: − 0.212,-0.203) for Burden of the Kidney Disease(B), − 0.112(95%CI: − 0.115,-0.109) for SF-12 Physical Functioning (PCS), − 0.295(95%CI: − 0.299, -0.292) for SF-12 Mental Functioning (MCS), respectively. Conclusions In our cross-sectional analysis of patients with CKD in China, prevalence of both anemia and anti-anemia treatment increased with decreased eGFR. In addition, anemia was associated with reduced HRQoL.

ObjectiveThe aim was to compare quality of life (QoL) among children and adolescents with different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and determine factors associated with changes in QoL.DesignCross-sectional.SettingThe Kids with CKD study involved five of eight paediatric nephrology units in Australia and New Zealand.PatientsThere were 375 children and adolescents (aged 6–18 years) with CKD, on dialysis or transplanted, recruited between 2013 and 2016.Main outcome measuresOverall and domain-specific QoL were measured using the Health Utilities Index 3 score, with a scale from −0.36 (worse than dead) to 1 (perfect health). QoL scores were compared between CKD stages using the Mann-Whitney U test. Factors associated with changes in QoL were assessed using multivariable linear and ordinal logistic regression.ResultsQoL for those with CKD stages 1–2 (n=106, median 0.88, IQR 0.63–0.96) was higher than those on dialysis (n=43, median 0.67, IQR 0.39–0.91, p<0.001), and similar to those with kidney transplants (n=135, median 0.83, IQR 0.59–0.97, p=0.4) or CKD stages 3–5 (n=91, 0.85, IQR 0.60–0.98). Reductions were most frequent in the domains of cognition (50%), pain (42%) and emotion (40%). The risk factors associated with decrements in overall QoL were being on dialysis (decrement of 0.13, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.25, p=0.02), lower family income (decrement of 0.10, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.15, p=0.002) and short stature (decrement of 0.09, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.16, p=0.02).ConclusionsThe overall QoL and domains such as pain and emotion are substantially worse in children on dialysis compared with earlier stage CKD and those with kidney transplants.
