Cross-sectional study assesses quality of life in ESRD patients on hemodialysis, highlighting improvement needs.

This study aims to evaluate the quality of life among maintenance hemodialysis patients and identify factors influencing their QoL.
Cross-sectional study conducted with 79 adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis for at least three months.
Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, with scores scaled from 0 to 100.
Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multinomial logistic regression.
The physical domain had the lowest QoL score (49.69 ± 18.77), while psychological (63.83 ± 19.15) and environmental (67.56 ± 19.27) domains were higher.
Female sex, lower educational attainment, and night-shift dialysis were linked to poorer physical QoL.
Strong positive correlations were noted among QoL domains (p < 0.01), indicating interrelationships.

Alotaibi et al. (2026) studied this question.
