HEMODİYALİZ HASTALARINDA VOLÜM DURUMUNUN YAŞAM KALİTESİ, ANKSİYETE, DEPRESYON VE UYKU KALİTESİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Objectives To determine the volume status of patients undergoing hemodialysis using the bioimpedance method and to investigate the relationship of volume status with the patients’ quality of life, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality. Material and Method This cross-sectional study included a total of 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Hemodialysis Unit in March 2016. The volume status of the patients was determined using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) performed with a body composition monitor before their mid-week hemodialysis sessions. The quality of life was evaluated using the 36-item Short Form Survey, sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), depression screening was performed with the Beck Depression Inventory, and anxiety screening was undertaken with the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The patients were divided into three groups according to the extracellular fluid/ total body fluid (ECF/TBF) ratio, which is one of the BIA parameters: Group 1,
