Abstract

Objectives: To assess the quality of life (QoL) and identify associated factors among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at Binh Tan District Hospital in 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 131 end-stage CKD patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Data were collected using the KDQOL-36 questionnaire, which comprises five domains: burden of kidney disease, effects of kidney disease, symptoms/problems, physical health, and mental health. Results: Overall QoL among hemodialysis patients was predominantly at a moderate-to-poor level, with a total score of 36.98 ± 4.24. Among the five domains, symptoms/problems was the only domain reaching a relatively good level (60.45 ± 8.36). The remaining domains were at moderate to poor levels, including effects of kidney disease (44.16 ± 7.58), burden of kidney disease (lowest, 22.61 ± 11.38), physical health (33.48 ± 4.03), and mental health (24.22 ± 8.25). QoL was significantly associated with age group, marital status, hemodialysis frequency, comorbidities, and certain laboratory indicators such as creatinine, lymphocyte count, and serum albumin. Conclusion: QoL among CKD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis remains low. Comprehensive interventions addressing medical management, nutrition, psychological support, and social care are essential to improve patient outcomes.
