Background

Chronic kidney disease (chronic kidney disease) is a growing global health issue that significantly impairs quality of life (quality of life), particularly among patients undergoing dialysis.

Purpose

To examine associations among e-health literacy, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (health-related quality of life) among patients receiving hemodialysis in Northern Jordan.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 184 adult HD patients recruited from four hospitals in Northern Jordan.

n = 184 adult

Results

diabetes independently linked to lower quality of life

B 8.06 (95% CI 2.32 to 13.80)

CI excludes the null - significant

More results

Among 184 participants (mean age 49.9 years, 65% male), the mean self-efficacy score was 25.52 (SD = 1.8) and the mean e-health literacy score was 3.62 (SD = 0.58).

More results

The mean KDQOL‑36 total score was 105 ± 17, with domain scores of 39 ± 7 for Symptoms/Problems, 25 ± 6 for Effects of Kidney Disease, 11 ± 3 for Burden of Kidney Disease, 29 ± 5 for Social Function, 12 ± 3 for the Physical Component Summary, and 21 ± 4 for the Mental Component Summary.

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Health-related quality of life among HD patients appears to be influenced primarily by socioeconomic and clinical factors, particularly educational attainment, employment status, and diabetes mellitus.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Although e-health literacy and self-efficacy were associated with health-related quality of life in unadjusted analyses, these associations were attenuated after adjusting for socioeconomic and clinical characteristics.
