“…The overall prevalence of CKD in Iran was 15.4%, which was higher than that of Thailand (17.5%) and lower than the same rate in other countries such as South Africa (10.1%) ; African Sahara (13.2%) ; and USA (14.8%) ; and European countries such as Portugal (5.2%), Spain (4.7%), and Norway (3.3%) . The differences may be attributed to low public awareness of CKD, the lack of timely screening, and low access to health care systems in less‐developed countries, including Iran . The incidence of CKD was higher in women than in men, which suggests that women are more likely to get CKD than men, which was confirmed by Lengani's study and a study conducted in Africa .…”

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CKD in the Iranian general population. In this systematic review and meta-analysis study, international (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google scholar) and national databases (SID, Magiran) were searched until December 30, 2017. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Hoy instrument. Out of 1170 initial studies, 9 studies with a total of 70 605 participants were included in the final stage of this study. Based on the results of the random effect method (95% CI), the overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease in 70 605 people was 15.14% (I = 99.77%). The prevalence of CKD in female patients (18.80%) was 1.7 times higher than in male patients (10.83). The results of the present study indicate a higher than the global average prevalence of CKD in Iran and the need for additional attention of policy makers on better planning for control and implementation of screening programs in high-risk populations, such as patients with hypertension and diabetes.

“…Patients with ESKD undergo renal replacement therapy, such as kidney transplantation (KT), haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) (24). Haemodialysis is the most common renal replacement therapy in the world (25) which prolongs the survival of the patients and improves their quality of life (26). During haemodialysis, nurses are mainly responsible for the direct care of the patients and spend the most time with the patients compared to other healthcare providers (27).…”

Trust towards nurses who care for haemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study Background: Trust is widely acknowledged as the main component of relationships between patients and nurses. Aims: Considering the importance of building trust in the patient-nurse relationship especially in vulnerable patients such as patients undergoing haemodialysis, this study was carried out to assess the trust of these patients towards nurses in the haemodialysis unit and to explore its relationship with some characteristics of the patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 180 patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis were selected using random sampling method. Data were collected by trust in nurses (TNS) scale. The collected data were analysed by SPSS (ver.21) software using ANOVA, independent t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: The mean score of patients' trust in nurses was 23.82, showing a high level of trust towards nurses. The lowest score (with a mean score of 4.17) was related to the providing of accurate information by nurses about the disease. Pearson's correlation coefficient indicated a positive significant relationship between the age and patient's trust (r = 0.17, p > 0.05), and there was a negative relationship between the mean score of trust and the mean of interdialytic weight gain (r = 0.57, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Although the patient trust towards nurses was high in this study, there were some deficiencies in certain items especially in the provision of information and education to the patients. Education of specialised courses for nurses and empowering them to provide a high quality care to the patients on dialysis could help to increase the patents' trust.

“…In 2009, 92.9% of patients in the United States underwent hemodialysis [6]. In Iran, hemodialysis is the most common treatment for renal failure, and 50% of patients are treated with this method [7]. Although, hemodialysis reduces the disease symptoms and improves patients’ lifestyle, their quality of life is affected by the disease and its complications that lead to disability [8].…”

Experience of Nurses in Hemodialysis Care: A Phenomenological Study

This study aimed to describe the experiences of nurses in hemodialysis care. In this phenomenological study, purposive sampling began and continued until data saturation. The research environment was the Hemodialysis unit. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Finally, two main classes and four sub-classes were identified, including factors effective on care (inhibitors and facilitators) and care outcomes (the negative effects of care on the nurse and the positive effects of care on the patient), and “challenging care” as the main theme. As the results show, nurses suffer from several physical and mental harm, and this harm even extends to their family environment, and their families are indirectly affected by the negative effects of this care. Therefore, strengthening management approaches to eliminate the inhibitor factors is essential in order to prevent nurses’ burnout or quitting while improving the quality of care provided by them.
