Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hemodialysis patients' adherence to hemodialysis sessions, medication, diet and, fluid restriction is an essential condition to ensure effective treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the overall adherence of hemodialysis patients in the Marrakech-Safi region of Morocco. METHODS A quantitative cross-sectional study of hemodialysis patients at the Safi, Youssoufia and Ibn Tofail public hemodialysis centers was conducted in the last trimester of 2023 using a questionnaire (ESRD-AQ), which was completed by analyzing patient records and interviewing patients during the hemodialysis session. RESULTS A total of 199 patients were included in this study. Women accounted for 53.3% of patients, 73.9% were under 65 years, 55.8% had been on hemodialysis for more than 5 years, and 62.8% had an Inter-dialytic-weight (IDW) ≥ 2.5 kg. Mean scores for adherence to hemodialysis, medication, diet and fluid restriction were 534.92 ± 98.71 out of 600, 113.32 ± 50.86 out of 200, 75.38 ± 42.00 out of 200 and 52.51 ± 53.59 out of 200, respectively. Regarding overall adherence, 24.1% had low adherence, 63.8% had moderate adherence, and 12.1% had good adherence, with a mean score of 793.99 ± 151.28 out of 1200. Our results showed that male gender (p = 0.010, ORa = 5.61), young age (p = 0.004, ORa = 8.48), and short duration on hemodialysis (p = 0.001, ORa = 23.91) were risk factors for low overall adherence. CONCLUSION Our results justify the increased need for educational programs aimed at improving the overall adherence of hemodialysis patients.

Development and psychometric evaluation of uncertainty about disease and treatment scale in hemodialysis patients: a sequential-exploratory mixed-method study. BMC Psychol 2024; 12:187. [PMID: 38581066 PMCID: PMC10998385 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-024-01685-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The need for long-term treatment and frequent visits to treatment centers for hemodialysis can lead to psychological problems such as Uncertainty about Disease and Treatment (UC about D&T) in patients with chronic kidney failure. In order to understand uncertainty about disease and treatment and to plan for preventive measures and care interventions in various dimensions, there is a need for reliable and valid tools. The present study was conducted to design and psychometrically evaluate the Uncertainty about Disease and Treatment Scale (UC about D&TS) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS This study is of a methodological type and conducted in two stages. The first stage included a deductive (literature review) and an inductive approach (face-to-face interviews). In the second stage, psychometric indices of the UC about D&TS, including face validity (qualitative-quantitative), content validity (qualitative-quantitative), construct validity (exploratory factor analysis), and reliability (using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega) were examined. RESULTS In the literature review stage, 66 items were extracted, and in the qualitative stage, 48 items were extracted. After merging similar items, 29 items were entered into the psychometric process. No items were removed in the face and content validity stages. In the construct validity stage, five factors were extracted, including self-uncertainty, uncertain situation, uncertain future, uncertainty of treatment outcomes, and information uncertainty, which constituted a total of 82.16% of the total variance. In this stage, five items were removed from the study due to a corrected item-total correlation below 0.32, and four items were removed due to cross-loading. The α and Ω were calculated as 0.828 and 0.818, respectively. The measurement stability and standard error of measurement were estimated at 0.977 and 2.019, respectively. CONCLUSION The results showed that the UC about D&TS is a valid and reliable measure for patients undergoing hemodialysis. This scale is specifically designed to measure UC about D&T in hemodialysis patients, and it is recommended that healthcare providers (Hcps) use this scale in follow-up visits.

Abstract
Background The management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) demands meticulous adherence to treatment regimens, encompassing hemodialysis (HD) sessions, medication protocols, dietary guidelines, and fluid restrictions. The intricate interplay of factors impacting treatment adherence warrants comprehensive exploration, particularly within Pakistan. Objective To assess knowledge, adherence, and perception regarding the treatment regimens and their determinants among ESRD patients. Methodology Employing a nonprobability, consecutive sampling method, this prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in July and August 2023 at Lahore General Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. It exclusively enrolled adult patients with a minimum three-month history of hemodialysis. Thorough demographic data were collected, followed by the meticulous administration of a translated version of the End Stage Renal Disease-Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ) through face-to-face interviews in the native language. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States) was used to acquire descriptive statistics, as well as Pearson's and Spearman's correlations and univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Results The study encompassed 119 patients, with a mean age of 43.13 ± 14.99 years. Adherence scores revealed means of 921.83 ± 28.37 for males and 865.18 ± 28.81 for females, out of 1200. Notably, only 10.1% demonstrated good adherence, 31.9% displayed moderate adherence, and 58% exhibited poor adherence. A statistically significant association emerged between better adherence and access to personal transportation (β=-0.225; 95% CI -178.24 to -20.77, p=0.014), with no other demographic factors predicting adherence. Conclusion The study underscores the sobering reality of minimal optimal adherence. Chief impediments include anxiety, alongside challenges such as fistula complications, financial constraints, transportation barriers, and inadequate counseling and motivation. Evidently, robust patient education, sustained motivation, and unwavering support from healthcare providers and institutional entities are imperative to surmount the multifaceted barriers that compromise treatment adherence.

PSYCHOL HEALTH MED 2023; 28:1682-1697. [PMID: 37227800 DOI: 10.1080/13548506.2023.2216467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Fluid-control adherence was important for hemodialysis (HD) patients, and while significant correlations between treatment adherence and illness perceptions have been found, there is limited research that explored the relationship between illness perceptions and fluid-control adherence. We sought to assess illness perceptions and fluid-control adherence and to explore the relationship between them among Chinese hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study of 253 Chinese HD patients was conducted. We recorded sociodemographic and disease characteristics, Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) responses, Fluid Control in Hemodialysis Patients Scale (FCHPS) scores and the interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). The total FCHPS score of hemodialysis patients was of a moderate level, and 45.85% hemodialysis patients' IDWG exceeded 3.0 kg. Regression analysis revealed that sex, academic level, marital status, treatment control dimension and causal (physical) factors of illness perceptions explained 12.7% variance in the total FCHPS score. Age, normalized whole-body urea clearance (Kt/V), dry weight (DW) residual urine volume (mL/24 h) and consequence dimension of illness perceptions explained 29.0% variance in IDWG. About mediating effect analysis, positive indirect effects on IDWG were found for identity, consequences and emotional representations through the attitude dimension of FCHPS, and negative indirect effects on IDWG were found for treatment control and illness coherence through the attitude dimension of FCHPS. The results demonstrated that some sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and illness perceptions were associated with fluid-control adherence, and the patient's attitude toward fluid control is an important mediator between illness perceptions and IDWG, implying that attitude can be a focus of intervention programs based on illness perceptions to improve Chinese HD patients' fluid-control adherence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication adherence is a key component of successful dialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim of this study was to use the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation and Behavior (COM-B) model in order to identify the most important determinants of medication adherence among ESRD patients. METHODS This research was a cross-sectional design that was conducted in two steps in 2021. In the first step, COM-B components of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) therapy were extracted through literature review. The second step was a cross-sectional study among 260 ESRD patients referred to the dialysis unit from Kermanshah, in the west of Iran. Data was collected using a written questionnaire by interviews. The data was analyzed in SPSS version 16 software. RESULTS The mean age of respondents was 50.52 years [95% CI: 48.71, 52.33], ranged from 20 to 75 years. The mean score of medication adherence was 11.95 [95% CI: 11.64, 12.26], ranged from 4 to 20. Medication adherence is higher among patients with higher education (P = 0.009) and those who were employed (P < 0.001) and was significantly related to income (r = 0.176), while it was inversely and significantly related to the medication duration (r=-0.250). Motivation (Beta: 0.373), self-efficacy (Beta: 0.244), and knowledge (Beta: 0.116) are stronger determinants of medication adherence. CONCLUSION COM-B model can be proposed as an integrated framework in predicting medication adherence among ESRD patients. Our findings provide theory-based recommendations that can help future clinical and research decision-making for the development, implementation, and evaluation of treatment adherence interventions in Iranian ESRD patients. The use of COM-B model can provide a comprehensive explanation about medication adherence in ESRD patients. Future research should be focus on increasing motivation, self-efficacy and knowledge of Iranian ESRD patients in order to increasing medication adherence.

Abstract
Background and Aim Hemodialysis treatment saves the life of people with end-stage renal disease (ERDS), but does not prevent the suffering of the disease, anxiety, hopelessness, and so on. Many studies have been performed on self-care behaviors as well as body image in different patients, but so far, no research has been done to investigate the relationship between self-care behavior and body image concerns in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the aims of this study are to determine the relationship between self-care behavior and body image concern in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate Self-care Behavior and Concerns about Body Image in a convenience sample of 280 patients with ERDS. Measures included demographic factors, health characteristics, and validated instruments of the study constructs Body Image Concern Questionnaire (BICI) and Assessment of self-care behaviors with arteriovenous fistula (ASBHD-AVF). Results This study showed that self-care behaviors have the ability to predict body image concerns. There was a negative and significant relationship between self-care behavior and body image concern (B = −0.162, β = −0.140, p = 0.020). These variables explain 7.5% of predictors. Conclusion Although the findings of the present study showed that increasing age and improving the level of self-care behaviors in patients undergoing hemodialysis reduces body image anxiety, but women were the strongest predictor of body image anxiety.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing hemodialysis face multiple problems such as difficulties in performing daily activities, low functional capacity, non-adherence to the hemodialysis regimen, and depressive symptoms that lead to poor health outcomes. The present study aimed to assess the levels of depression, adherence, and functionality in patients undergoing hemodialysis, as well as the association between the above variables. Materials and methods In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis from a private hospital in Athens participated. Data were collected via the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Barthel Scale/Index, and the Greek Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire-Hemodialysis for the evaluation of patients’ depression, functionality, and adherence to hemodialysis regimen, respectively. In addition, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. The study was conducted during the period of December 2020 to February 2021. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0 (Released 2017. IBM Corp., Armonk, New York) was used for the statistical analysis of the data. The statistical significance level was set up at 0.05. Results Of the patients, 50% scored < 38 (possible range 20-80) in the scale pof depression, and 25% of patients scored < 34. Regarding adherence, the median value was 7 (IQR: 7-7) while 77% scored 7 (possible range of 0-8). Regarding functionality, mild dependence (score 91-99) was referred by 77% of the participants, moderate dependence (score 61-90) by 17%, and severe dependence (score 21-60) was referred by 6% of the patients. A statistically significant negative association emerged between depression and functionality (r= -0.342, p=0.001) while no significant association arised between depression and adherence (r= 0.021,p=0.836) as well as between adherence and functionality (r = 0.078, p = 0.439). Statistical significantly higher scores of depression were seen in women (β = 3.65, p = 0.001) and elderly >70 years old (β = 3.51, CI=0.09-6.93, p = 0.044). Statistically significantly lower functionality were referred by patients >70 years old (β = -13.58, CI: -21.68-5.49, p = 0.001) and by patients with high depression score (β= -0.62, 95% CI: -1.06-0.20, p = 0.005). Conclusion Patients experienced moderate to low levels of depression and high levels of adherence and functionality. The higher the functionality scores, the lower the depression scores. Demographic characteristics, such as age and gender, seem to be significant predictors of depression and functionality.
