RESULTADOS:Ī faixa etária predominante foi de 40 a 60 anos. Os fatores emocionais foram avaliados pelas escalas de Alexitimia de Toronto e Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão. Foram avaliados 50 pacientes renais crônicos em tratamento de hemodiálise, por meio do Inventário de Dor Breve e do questionário especifico de doença renal. Trata-se de uma abordagem descritiva, transversal, exploratória e quantitativa. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, de forma descritiva, o sintoma da dor e sua influência na qualidade de vida, de pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica em tratamento de hemodiálise. We found worse outcomes in hemodialysis patients who presented bone alterations, regardless of the source.Īffective symptoms Chronic pain Chronic renal failure Metabolic bone disease Quality of life There was the absence of alexithymia in most of the interviewees, a positive correlation between pain intensity versus physical function (r=-0.14, p=0.03), physical function x work status (r=-0.28, p=0.04) and a negative correlation between alexithymia versus anxiety (r=0.03, p=0.62) and moderate pain versus overall health (r=0.06, p=0.40). Regarding the quality of life, physical function and work status were the most affected. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale showed a slight increase in both parameters in those with bone pain. There was a noticeable increase in the intensity of pain in patients with bone alterations when compared to those without, as well as an increased ambulation impairment. 72% of the patients showed some bone changes and the majority interviewed did not have formal jobs at the time of interview.
The predominant age group was 40 to 60 years. The emotional factors were evaluated by the Toronto Alexithymia and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales. We evaluated 50 chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis treatment through the Brief Pain Inventory and the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional exploratory, quantitative approach. The objective of this study was to descriptively evaluate the symptom of pain and its influence on the quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis treatment.
