Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered a public health problem, due to its increasing incidence and prevalence rates. Changes imposed by the disease and its treatment significantly compromise patients' quality of life (QOL). The objective of the study is to evaluate the QOL of patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This is a cross-sectional study, with 48 HD patients in a satellite clinic in João Pessoa – Paraíba. Questionnaires covering sociodemographic data, clinical- pathological history and the KDQOL-SFTM1.3 (Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form 1.3) were applied. Descriptive analyzes were carried out and the Spearman Correlation test was applied, considering a significance level of 0.05. Among the individuals, 24 (50%) were female. The average age was 60 years old (SD 14.7) and the majority did not practice paid work (72.9%). The lowest scores obtained were in the dimensions Physical Function (45.31; SD 39.16), Weight/Burden of Kidney Disease (46.61; SD 24.08) and General Health (46.68; SD 23.42). On the other hand, Team Stimulation (81.77; SD 18.76) and Cognitive Function (86.25; SD 16.41) performed better. Keywords: Chronic renal failure; Quality of life; Kidney dialysis;
