Fatigue Levels In Hemodialysis Patients : An Analysis Based On Sleep Quality

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and fatigue in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Gatoel Hospital, Mojokerto. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 68 respondents selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue (FACIT-F) questionnaires, and analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that 50 respondents (73.5%) had poor sleep quality and 49 respondents (72.1%) experienced severe fatigue. The Spearman rank correlation test revealed a significant and strong negative correlation between sleep quality and fatigue (p = 0.000; r = –0.617). It can be concluded that poorer sleep quality is associated with more severe fatigue in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.
