Abstract

The concept of quality of life includes several aspects of the physical and psychological status. In a medical setting the evaluation of health-related quality of life comprises physiopathological and clinical aspects, as well as patient well-being and functioning. The aims of this study were to carry out an updated evaluation of the health status and quality of life of chronic hemodialysis patients and compare these with peritoneal dialysis patients at the ASL Rimini Dialysis Department. The final purpose is to obtain data comparable with other studies or other populations, and to identify possible actions or interventions. (nursing)
