Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlations and status of self-management level and the quality of life of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Method The self-management behavior rating scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief (WHOQOL-BREF) were used among 59 patients undergoing hemodialysis for the investigation. Results The score by WHOQOL-BREF was (40.56 ± 6.15) and that by the self-management behavior rating scale was (86.99 ± 16.41). The self-management level and the quality of life were positively correlated. Conclusion The measures including enhancing fluid intake, improving patient's compliance, encouraging them to actively participate in physical exercise and social activities can be done to improve their self-management and ultimately improve their quality of life.
