Abstract

Life quality Index predictors were evaluated in a renal chronic hemodialysis patients in regard to their two dimensions, Satisfaction and Importance. The Index criteria comparison showed a significant greater average for the Importance levels, as well as a small answers dispersion. The multiple regression analysis demonstrated an association between stressors and hemodialysis treatment. Social support, in regard to the patients’ net and the Satisfaction level for the perceived support, relates to Satisfaction and Importance dimensions of the Life Quality index.
