摘要

The purpose of this study was to explore the life quality of hemodialysis patients and the factors correlated with life quality. This is a crosssectional descriptive and correlational research. Eighty-six hemodialy-sis patients were recruited from four hemodialysis centers in Taipei. The test instruments used in the study were “Quality of Life Index” , “Physical Symptom Distress Checkist” and “Social Support Scale”. Data were statistically analyzed by means of descriptive analysis, One-way ANOVA, Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression. The major findings of this study were as follows: (1) Generally speaking, hemodialysis patients had medium life quality. The mean score on the family subscale was the hightest, psychosocial subscale was the lowest. (2) Marital status, physical symptom distress and social sup-port were correlated with patients’ life quality (p＜0.05). (3) Patients’ life quality could be predicted by their marital status, physical sysmptom distress and social support. The total variance was 40.35%. The most predictive factor was social support. (4)Between independent variables there was no interactive influence on life quality. The implications for nursing practice, nursing education and nursing administration are discussed, and further study is suggested.
