Level of resilience and psychological well-being in the patient with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis treatment in a private clinic in Lima in 2023

Abstract

Introduction: The level of resilience is the balance to obtain physical, psychological, social and economic well-being. Being in good health means having a healthy emotional state, but having end-stage chronic kidney disease triggers psycho-emotional alterations that put public health at risk, increasing the rate of comorbidity that is unrelated to reaching psychological well-being in the patient. Objective: To determine how the level of resilience is related to psychological well-being in patients with kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment in a clinic in Lima, 2023. Methods: This type of research is applied to a quantitative approach with an observational method and design, correlational and transversal. The sample was made up of 60 patients with chronic kidney disease to whom two instruments were applied; the Wagnild and Young Scale to measure the level of resilience, made up of 25 items measured on the Likert scale, grouped into five dimensions. The other instrument will measure psychological well-being with the Ryff scale, consisting of 35 items measured on the Likert scale and grouped into six dimensions.

El nivel de resiliencia es el equilibrio para obtener el bienestar físico, psicológico, social y económico. Contar con buena salud significa tener un estado emocional saludable, pero contar con una enfermedad renal crónica terminal desencadena alteraciones psicoemocionales que ponen en riesgo la salud pública aumentando el índice de comorbilidad que es ajenos a llegar al bienestar psicológico en el paciente.
