- W10153351 abstract "It has been assumed until recently that chronic renal failure is more prevalent among men than among women, but data now indicate that at least half of all renal patients are women. The literature continues to focus on adjustment problems of male patients, especially sexual adjustment and job-loss problems, and to assume that women can adjust more easily because of their ability to maintain the homemaker role. However, women patients whose work status is that of homemaker are found to have the highest depression scores, and job loss results in low satisfaction for those who have held meaningful outside jobs. Women patients are not necessarily more satisfied with their sexual life than are men patients. Questions can also be raised about women patients' access to treatment alternatives associated with optimal patient outcomes. Approximately 55,000 persons in the United States have experienced chronic renal failure (also known as end-stage renal disease or ESRD) and are receiving some form of dialysis therapy (Gutman et al., 1981). Without maintenance dialysis or a successful kidney transplant, patients whose kidneys have failed would die. Adjustment to renal failure and to dialysis therapy is inherently stressful for patients; frequently noted reactions include anxiety, depression, and loss of self-esteem (Reichsman and Levy, 1972; Abram, 1974; Anger, 1975). Although the dialysis process restores a more normal fluid and electrolyte balance and raises patients' hematocrit, many dialysis patients continue to complain of fatigue. Fatigue, dialysis treatment schedules, and employers' reluctance to hire renal patients contribute to a lowered employment rate among patients who have gone on dialysis (Kutner et al., 1980). Marked reduction in interest in sex and ability to perform sexually are common among dialysis patients" @default.
