ABSTRACT

Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) causa prejuízos na capacidade funcional dos pacientes, comprometendo a qualidade de vida (QV). Objetivo: Avaliar a QV de pacientes com DRC em hemodiálise e compará-la entre gênero, estado civil e situação ocupacional. Métodos: Estudo observacional e transversal com portadores de DRC. Utilizou-se o Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF). Resultados: Foram avaliados 60 pacientes, 31 homens, idade média de 56,3±12,3 anos. As mulheres apresentaram pior função física (p=0,02), capacidade física (p=0,04), emocional (p=0,02) e escore total do KDQOL-SF (p=0,03). Indivíduos viúvos apresentaram pior vitalidade/fadiga (p=0,01) e função cognitiva (p=0,01). Indivíduos empregados apresentaram menor efeito da DRC na vida diária (p=0,01) e no escore total do KDQOL-SF (p=0,01). A idade correlacionou-se fraca e negativamente com a função física (r= -0,258; p=0,046) e função sexual (r= -0,323; p=0,012). Conclusão: Mulheres, indivíduos viúvos e mais velhos com DRC apresentam piores escores no questionário de QV.


Introduction: Chronic renal failure (CRF) causes loss of functional capacity of patients compromising their quality of life (QOL). Objective: To evaluate the QOL of CRF patients undergoing hemodialysis, comparing it with patients' gender, marital status, and employment status. Method: This is an observational, cross-sectional study with CRF patients. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) was the tool used for data collection. Results: A total of 60 patients were evaluated; 31 male, with mean age of 56,3 ± 12,3 years. Females presented worse physical function (p=0,02) than males; physical capacity (p=0,04), and emotional capacity (p=0,02), and at the total score of KDQOL-SF (p=0,03). Widowed individuals presented worse vitality/fatigue (p=0,01) and cognitive function (p=0,01). Employed individuals showed to have less effects of the CRF in their daily life (p=0,01) and at the total score of KDQOL-SF (p= 0,01). Age presented a negative and weak correlation with physical function (r= -0,25; p= 0,04) and sexual function (r= -0,32; p=0,01). Conclusion: Females, widows and aging individuals with CRF presented worse scores on the QOL questionnaire.
