Research subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 145 patients from May 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. Results: The study subjects were aged from 45 to 60, accounting for the highest proportion of 50.34%. 70% of the subjects were retired or not working. Nearly 50% of the subjects had an income of less than 5 million/month. 72.41% of the subjects had another disease besides chronic kidney failure. The ratio of anxiety, depression, and stress in patients with chronic kidney failure was very high, at 65.51%; 56.55% and 51.72%, respectively. Of which, about 35% of the subjects had severe and very severe depression, 43.15% of the subjects had severe and very severe anxiety, and 26.67% of the subjects had severe and very severe stress. Conclusion: The study showed that a high proportion of subjects with chronic kidney failure had symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Nurses in particular and health workers in general need to provide health education and counseling so that patients can feel secure in their treatment and cooperate during the treatment and care process at the hospital. Hospitals and social organizations need to coordinate and mobilize resources to increase the level of social support for patients, especially patients with chronic kidney failure.
