- W4387421618 abstract "Background: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) prolongs the life of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), but this process can change their lifestyle, affecting their quality of life (QoL). Patients with MHD require their caregivers' assistance in daily management and repeated hospital visitation. This places a burden on caregivers affecting their QoL. Both patient and caregiver form a unit during the caregiving process. This study aims to compare and correlate the QoL of patients with CKD under MHD with their caregivers, considering their common familial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, comparative study in the Hemodialysis Unit of Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS), Lalitpur, Nepal. Patients aged >14 years with CKD under MHD and caregivers staying with the patient at their resident place for a minimum of two months were included in the study. QoL of patients with CKD under MHD was compared with caregivers under different domains of the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores using an SF-36 (Short form-36) health survey questionnaire. Data was collected and entered in Microsoft Excel 2010/Epi info version 7.2 and analyzed. Results: The overall QoL of caregivers was better than CKD patients under MHD in terms of both PCS score (48.13 vs. 35.36) and MCS score (48.11 vs. 43.25) and was statistically significant (p-value: <0.001) in both scores. The patient’s QoL was not significantly correlated with the caregiver's PCS score (p-value: 0.635). Still, there was a significant correlation between QoL and MCS scores (p-value: 0.006). Similarly, caregivers had better QoL than CKD patients under MHD under all eight domains, which was statistically significant. No significant correlation was found between the frequency and duration of MHD with PCS and MCS scores of both patient and caregiver. Conclusion: Overall, the physical and mental QoL of the caregiver was better than CKD patients under MHD. Further studies need to be conducted to assess the QoL of both groups compared to the healthy population to address the issue of hemodialysis patients and their caregivers." @default.
