The Relationship of Hemodialysis Duration with Fluid Restrictions Compliance Among Chronic Kidney Disease Patient

Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition of decreased kidney function, which occurs when the kidneys are unable to transport the body's metabolic waste or carry out their regular functions. This disease is characterized by irreversible and progressive worsening of kidney function.

Objective: To identify the relationship between the length of time undergoing hemodialysis and compliance with fluid intake restrictions in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Method: Quantitative research type with analytical observational research design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was 254 hemodialysis patients with a purposive sampling technique, namely 72 hemodialysis patients. Data analysis used the Kendall Tau statistical test.

Results: Characteristics of respondents based on age, the majority of the elderly aged 56-65 years (33.3%), based on gender, the majority male (56.9%), based on education level, the majority high school/high school (38.9%), based on occupation the majority did not work (67.7%), based on the length of time undergoing hemodialysis, the majority in the old category was (54.2%), and the majority in the less compliant category had compliance with fluid intake restrictions (86.1%). There is a relationship between the length of time undergoing hemodialysis and compliance with fluid intake restrictions in chronic kidney failure patients with a value of p=0.003 (p value<0.01).
