Satisfaction with Life among Dialyzed Patients: A Cantril Ladder Survey
Journal Title: MGM JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients consider hemodialysis (HD) to be an invasive and time-consuming procedure. The total success of HD depends not only on the medical parameters, but also on the patients’ satisfaction with life (SwL). The purpose of this study was to evaluate ESRD patients’ self-reported SwL and compare it with patient-related and dialysis-related factors.
