HUBUNGAN FREKUENSI HEMODIALISIS DENGAN TINGKAT STRES PADA PASIEN GAGAL GINJAL KRONIK YANG MENJALANI HEMODIALISIS DI RUMAH SAKIT ROYAL PRIMA MEDAN TAHUN 2019

Abstract

Kidney failure is caused by decreased kidney function so that it cannot filter out the body's electrolyte
discharge. The aim of the study was to find out whether there was a relationship between the frequency of
hemodialysis and the level of stress in patients with chronic kidney failure who underwent hemodialysis at
Royal Prima Medan Hospital in 2019. The research design used by the researcher was a cros sectional
method in which the dependent and independent variables were examined simultaneously. The results
showed that there was a significant relationship between the frequency of hemodialysis to stress levels in
patients with chronic renal failure, almost all respondents often underwent hemodialysis at Royal Prima
Hospital in Medan, out of a total of 70 respondents, almost all respondents had moderate stress levels and
there was a significant relationship between HD frequency with stress levels in CRF patients in the
Hemodialysis installation with a p value of 0.002 <0.05. The results of this study are expected to be able to
add insight and knowledge about CRF, and are expected to continue this research in deeper contexts and
broader variables.
