“…In the current study, evaluation of the difference between the group with respect to each domain using independent sample "t" test, it is found that there was a significant improvement in the mean domain score in the intervention group for all the four domains as compared to the group that was not provided with an intervention. This observation is in agreement with similar results obtained at other centers using a variety of QoL questioners [15][16][17][18][19][20]. A significant mean score difference (P < 0.01) is indicative that pharmacists' counseling has an impact on improving the QoL in hemodialysis patients.…”

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by the progressive loss of kidney function over a period of months or years. Hemodialysis is a process that removes metabolic wastes when the kidneys fail to do this work adequately. The present study was an attempt made to assess the impact of pharmacists' counseling on quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing hemodialysis in Justice K S Hegde Charitable Hospital, Mangalore, Karnataka, India.

“…Generally, it is assumed that mental disorders such as anxiety disorders and depression are mostly correlated with the severity of the disease pre-transplant and the occurrence of complications. However, some studies show that the acceptance of the disease is more predictive for a good or bad QoL than the severity of the disease [13,32] .…”

Quality of life (QoL) after deceased donor liver transplantation is increasingly recognized as a major outcome parameter. We reviewed recent publications in this rapidly evolving field in order to summarize recent achievements in the field and to define opportunities and perspectives for research and improvement of patient care. QoL does improve after liver transplantation according to a typical pattern. During the first year, there is a significant improvement in QoL. After one year, the improvement does stabilise and tends to decline slightly. In addition to the physical condition, different psychological parameters (such as depression, anxiety, sexual function) and sociodemographic elements (professional state, sex, marital state) seem to impact QoL. Opportunities for further research are the use of dedicated questionnaires and identification of influencing factors for QoL. Core tip: Quality of life (QoL) after deceased donor liver transplantation (LT) is increasingly recognized as a major outcome parameter. This review summarizes a broad spectrum of factors that influence QoL in LT and elucidates the evolution in time of physical and mental QoL after LT. Furthermore attention is given to areas for further investigation and the use of self-report QoL questionnaires in LT. This way, we want to offer a recent and complete overview in this rapidly evolving field.

Objective: To assess the quality of life related to the health of chronic renal failure patients on dialysis. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 101 chronic renal failure patients who had been under dialysis treatment for three months. The instruments used for research were: Instrument of Characterization of Subjects and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form. A descriptive analysis was performed and the standard deviation was found; Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of alpha values equal to or greater than 0.60.
