RESUMO
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the quality of life among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and identify the influencing factors. Methods: The study was conducted between March 2021 and December 2021 at the Peritoneal Dialysis Center of the Second Hospital affiliated with Harbin Medical University. A total of 148 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing PD were included. Demographic information, assessments of dialysis adequacy, biochemical evaluations, and the administration of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were carried out. The study analyzed the factors influencing the quality of life of these dialysis patients using the Spearman correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression. Results: The KDQOL-36 score for PD patients was 69.78±15.62, with 15.6% experiencing anxiety and 59.7% reporting depression. Age (r = -0.209), residual renal creatinine clearance rate (residual Ccr, r=-0.261), SAS (r=-0.623), and SDS (r = -0.116) scores exhibited significant negative correlations with KDQOL-36 scores (P < .05), while serum albumin levels (r = 0.199) showed significant positive correlations with KDQOL-36 scores (P < .05). Advanced age, poor nutritional status, low serum albumin levels, reduced residual renal Ccr, and high SAS and SDS scores were identified as significant predictors of lower KDQOL-36 scores (P < .05). Conclusions: The psychological state, age, nutritional status, serum albumin levels, and residual renal function significantly impacted the quality of life of PD patients.
