Abstract

Background: End-stage chronic renal disease and its long-term treatment by hemodialysis (HD) affect several aspects of life. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study of 80 patients undergoing chronic HD at the only public sector HD center in the Meknes prefecture of Morocco. This study's objectives are to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of patients receiving chronic HD and to determine the factors associated with these patients' decreased QOL.

Subjects and methods: To achieve the aims of this study, the short form of the Kidney disease quality of life short form (KDQOL-SF1,3), translated and validated in the Moroccan context, was the data collection instrument utilized to gauge these patients' QOL.

Results: The overall mean KDQOL-SF™ score was 39.31 (standard deviation [SD] 7.56). The kidney disease component, mental component, and physical component scores were 47.84 (SD 11), 33.91 (SD 10.22), and 36.19 (SD 8.30), respectively. Scores considered satisfactory were in favor of social support. Similarly, this study revealed, using the Student's t-test, that there was no significant difference in the means between the subgroups in terms of age, sex, marital status, and duration of HD treatment, while it revealed a significant correlation, using the Pearson's test, between kidney disease component and the two physical health and mental health components.

Conclusions: This study revealed that the QOL of chronic HD patients is impaired. It highlighted that an action on the effects of kidney disease could improve the physical and mental health and, consequently, the QOL of HD patients.

摩洛哥接受血液透析的终末期肾病患者的生活质量：横断面研究

背景：终末期慢性肾脏疾病及其长期血液透析治疗（HD）影响生活的几个方面。这是一项横断面、描述性和分析性研究，在摩洛哥梅克内斯州唯一的公共HD中心对80名慢性HD患者进行了研究。本研究的目的是评估慢性HD患者的生活质量（QOL），并确定与这些患者生活质量下降相关的因素。对象和方法：为了达到本研究的目的，在摩洛哥环境中翻译和验证的肾脏疾病生活质量短表（KDQOL-SF1,3）是用来衡量这些患者生活质量的数据收集工具。结果：总体平均KDQOL-SF评分为39.31（标准差[SD] 7.56）。肾脏疾病成分、精神成分和身体成分得分分别为47.84 （SD 11）、33.91 （SD 10.22）和36.19 （SD 8.30）。被认为满意的分数是支持社会支持的。同样，本研究使用Student's t检验显示，在年龄、性别、婚姻状况和HD治疗持续时间方面，亚组之间的均值没有显著差异，而使用Pearson检验显示，肾脏疾病成分与两个身体健康和心理健康成分之间存在显著相关性。结论：慢性HD患者的生活质量受到损害。它强调，针对肾脏疾病影响的行动可以改善HD患者的身心健康，从而改善其生活质量。
