Psychoeducation On Quality of Life And Ureum Levels Of Hemodialysis Creatinine Patients At Curup General Hospital Rejang Lebong Regency

摘要

Chronic kidney failure is a world health problem because it is difficult to cure; the cost of treatment and treatment is expensive. Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis are unable to maintain the balance of metabolism and electrolyte fluid, causing an increase in uremia in creatinine in the blood. Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing extended hemodialysis will affect the decline in quality of life. This study aims to determine the effect of psychoeducation on creatinine levels of urea in the blood and the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Curup General Hospital. Methods: This study uses a pre-experimental method with a research design using one group pretest-posttest design. Patients with chronic renal failure were given psychoeducation for six weeks and then measured the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood and measured the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Curup General Hospital. The number of respondents in this study was 35 patients. The Wilcoxon non-parametric test analyzed data. Results: After psychoeducation, there were significant differences in creatinine urea levels in the blood and changes in the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at the Curup General Hospital. Conclusion: Psychoeducation affects the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood and changes in the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.
