Abstract
Backgrounds: Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) receiving Hemodialysis (HD) face significant psychosocial and physical challenges. Improving their resilience by integrating protective factors is important for effectively managing the difficulties associated with the disease and its treatment. This study intended to identify factors associated with resilience among patients with ESKD receiving HD.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was done among 143 patients with ESKD receiving HD in a Tertiary Hospital "A" in Nepal. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to select samples. Data were collected following ethical approval through face-to-face interviews. A Nepali version of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics-related questions and five standardized and structured instruments were used to measure resilience, family support, illness cognition, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics (i.e., correlation and multiple linear regression) using the Statistical Package for Social Science Software version 16.
Results: The respondents had intermediate (49.0%), low (27.3%), and high (23.7%) levels of resilience. Illness cognition, self-efficacy, and self-esteem had statistically significant positive associations with resilience. However, age was negatively associated with resilience. These associated variables account for 64.0% of the variance in resilience (Adjusted R2 = 0.64).
Conclusions: The highest proportion of patients with ESKD receiving HD had an intermediate level of resilience. Factors such as illness cognition, self-efficacy, and self-esteem play an important role in enhancing resilience while advancing age appears to diminish it. Therefore, focusing on enhancing illness cognition, self-efficacy, and self-esteem with special care on older patients may be an effective strategy for improving resilience in patients with ESKD receiving HD.
背景：接受血液透析（HD）的终末期肾病（ESKD）患者面临着重大的社会心理和身体挑战。通过整合保护因素来提高她们的复原力，对于有效管理与疾病及其治疗相关的困难非常重要。本研究旨在确定与接受HD的ESKD患者恢复力相关的因素。方法：对尼泊尔A三级医院143例接受HD治疗的ESKD患者进行横断面分析研究。采用非概率方便抽样技术选择样本。数据通过面对面访谈的方式在伦理批准后收集。尼泊尔版的社会人口学和临床特征相关问题和五个标准化和结构化的工具被用来测量弹性，家庭支持，疾病认知，自我效能感和自尊。使用Statistical Package for Social Science Software version 16对数据进行描述性和推断性统计（即相关性和多元线性回归）分析。结果：被调查者心理弹性水平分别为中等（49.0%）、低（27.3%）和高（23.7%）。疾病认知、自我效能和自尊与心理韧性有统计学上显著的正相关。然而，年龄与适应力呈负相关。这些相关变量占弹性方差的64.0%（调整后R2 = 0.64）。结论：ESKD患者接受HD的最高比例具有中等水平的恢复能力。疾病认知、自我效能和自尊等因素在增强复原力方面发挥重要作用，而年龄的增长似乎会削弱复原力。因此，在老年患者的特殊照顾下，注重提高疾病认知、自我效能和自尊，可能是提高ESKD合并HD患者恢复力的有效策略。试验注册：不适用。
