Abstract

Hemodialysis Patients face an emotional challenge due to several modifications required in their lifestyle and the impairments in physical and role functioning. Therefore, it is essential to find out resources that buffer them from the adverse effects of stress and anxiety. Purpose of this study was to examine the level of Stress, Anxiety and Perceived Social Support among Hemodialysis Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in India. Also, the relationship between stress, anxiety and perceived social support has been explored using Cross Sectional Study design. The sample of the study consisted of 50 Hemodialysis patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, within the age range of 35 to 55 years who were purposively selected from two private hospitals in Uttar Pradesh. Data was collected using Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-2, 1995) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS, 1988). The descriptive statistics were applied to describe the level of Stress, Anxiety and Perceived Social Support among Hemodialysis Patients. Spearman’s Rank-Order Method was applied to assess the correlation between the variables. The results showed severe level of Stress and Anxiety, and moderate level of Perceived Social Support among the Hemodialysis Patients.
