“…Sleep disorders are also known to have a negative effect on individuals' QoL and their physical and emotional wellness. 5,6,31,32 Parker et al determined that 85% of hemodialysis patients have major sleep disorders affecting their QoL. 33 Novak et al also reported that sleep disorders signifi cantly disturb individuals' QoL.…”

BACKGROUNDHemodialysis causes major changes in patients' lifestyles that affect their quality of life (QoL) and sleep quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life and sleep of hemodialysis patients.METHODS AND MATERIALSThe study sample was 138 patients receiving dialysis in a university hospital dialysis unit. Data were collected with a personal information form (PIF), Medical Outcomes Study 36‐item Short Form (SF‐36) questionnaire, and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).RESULTSAll of the hemodialysis patients had low quality of life. There was a significant correlation between QoL and sleep quality (p < .001); as QoL decreased sleep quality also decreased. As patients' age increased their QoL and sleep decreased. Women, housewives, those with no formal education, and patients living in extended families had lower QoL. Patients aged 51 years and older had low QoL and sleep. No significant difference was found in QoL and sleep according to the patient's duration of hemodialysis (p > .05).CONCLUSIONHemodialysis patients have a low QoL and there is a close correlation between QoL and sleep quality. Interventions to help dialysis patients maintain their QoL and sleep are as important as extending their lives.

“…24,25 The better quality of life of transplant patients compared with hemodialyses patients, and the clinical improvement of some dangerous sleeprelated problems (eg, sleep apnea or RLS) may erroneously suggest that sleep problems vanish after a successful transplant. [26][27][28] An association between RLS and insomnia in patients on maintenance dialysis has been suggested already by papers. [29][30][31] In our study, RLS and sleep disturbances were correlated.…”

Objectives: Restless legs syndrome is a disorder in which patients have irresistible urge to move legs during rest. Restless legs syndrome seems to be common in end-stage renal disease. After a successful renal transplant, symptoms ameliorate with renal function improvement and restless legs syndrome is seen less in this population. Here, we aimed to investigate restless legs syndrome frequency and associated factors in renal transplant patients. Materials and Methods:In a cross-sectional study with 193 patients (116 hemodialysis patients, 45 transplant patients, and 32 controls), the presence of restless legs syndrome was assessed using the Restless Legs Syndrome Questionnaire. Medical history, demographic, and laboratory data were collected from the patients' medical records. Patients were questioned about the presence of restless legs syndrome using the Restless Legs Syndrome Questionnaire. Patients were evaluated with Beck Depression Scale for depression and Pittsburgh tests for sleep disturbances. Results: While the rate of restless legs syndrome was similar between transplants and controls, it was significantly greater in hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients and controls had similar depression scores that were higher compared with transplant patients. Pittsburgh score was similar in transplant patients and controls and significantly increased in the hemodialysis patients. The rate of insomnia was significantly higher in the hemodialysis patients compared with the other 2 groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed independent correlates of restless legs syndrome as insomnia, Beck depression score, and being on hemodialysis. Linear regression analysis showed that independent correlates of higher Pittsburgh score were higher depression score, higher age, and presence of restless legs syndrome. Conclusions: The prevalence of restless legs syndrome is significantly lower in transplant patients than it is in patients on maintenance dialysis. In renal transplant patients, restless legs syndrome frequency was found to be lower because of improved renal functions (normalization of uremia), psychological symptoms, and sleep disturbances.

ÖzAMAÇ: Çalışmanın amacı; hemodiyaliz (HD) ve renal transplantasyon (Tx) hastalarında anksiyete, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesini karşılaştırmaktır. GErEç ve YÖntEMlEr:Veriler; Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ve SF-36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. İstatistiksel analizde ki kare testi, varyans analizi ve independent samples t test kullanıldı. BULGULAR:Çalışmaya toplam 90 hasta (50 HD, 40 Tx; ortalama yaş 51,63±16.1 yıl; HD grubunda 32 erkek, Tx grubunda 31 erkek) dahil edildi. Gruplar sosyodemografik açıdan benzer özelliklere sahipti. Her iki grupta benzer oranda anksiyete ve depresyon görüldü. Kadınların anksiyete ve depresyon puanı erkeklerden daha yüksek bulundu. Diyalize girme süresi ile depresyon ve anksiyete arasında ilişki yokken transplantasyon süresi ile anksiyete ve depresyon arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı (sırasıyla p= 0,012 p= 0,019). Yaşam kalitesi alt ölçeklerinden fiziksel fonksiyon, fiziksel rol güçlüğü, emosyonel rol güçlüğü, vitalite, genel sağlık ve fiziksel komponent puanı HD grubunda daha düşük saptandı (p<0,05). Yaşam kalitesi skoru kadın ve erkeklerde benzer bulundu. MAtErIAl and MEtHODS:A total of 90 patients (50 HD, 40 Tx) were included in the study. Data was collected using the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory and the SF-36 quality of life scale. Chi-square test, analysis of variance and independent samples t test were used for statistical analysis. rESultS: Both groups had similar socio-demographic characteristics. There was no significant difference in anxiety and depression scores between the groups (p>0,05). However, anxiety and depression scores were higher in women. There was no correlation between the duration of dialysis treatment with anxiety or depression but the post-transplant time was positively correlated with anxiety and depression. The quality of life sub-scales of physical function, physical role difficulties, role emotional distress, vitality, general health and physical component scores were found lower in the HD group (p<0.05). Quality of life scores were similar in males and females.cOncluSIOn: Anxiety and depression scores were similar in HD and renal transplantation patients whereas the quality of life was better in the Tx group.
