LOGO COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY FOR HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS TO ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE : A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has a severe impact on quality of life leading to a poor prognosis. Studies preventing the deterioration of quality of life have been conducted. However, a study focusing on Logo Cognitive Behavior Therapy (LCBT) is limited in the literature. Therefore, the study propose to investigate the use of Logo Cognitive Behavior Therapy (LCBT) among hemodialysis patients. We conducted a literature review to identify all studies using LCBT in hemodialysis patients. The finding indicates that LCBT is effective to increase the patient's quality of life. This therapy can be a supportive approach for gold standard treatment optimization. Further study is needed to assess the effectiveness of the LCBT among hemodialysis patients with various cultural backgrounds in countries.
