Association between health-related hope and distress from restrictions in chronic kidney disease and dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the durability of patient adherence to fluid and dietary restrictions may depend on the degree to which they have hope that they will enjoy life. Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that higher hope was associated with lower distress from fluid and dietary restrictions and better adherence in the short term. In this study, we aimed to examine the long-term relationship of hope with distress from fluid and dietary restrictions.

Methods

This prospective observational cohort study included 444 patients with CKD undergoing dialysis in one of five Japanese nephrology centers. Hope as a predictor was measured using an 18-item health-related hope scale. Outcomes were two-item measures of distress from fluid and dietary intake rest
