THE RELATIONSHIP OF LONG TIME UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS AND THE INCIDENCE OF FATIGUE IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DESEASE PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS AT INDRAMAYU HOSPITAL

Abstract

The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Indonesia based on Riskesdas in 2018 reached 0.38% and in 2013 it was recorded that only 0.20% of Indonesians suffered from CKD, this shows an increase of 0.18% in CKD patients in Indonesia. CKD patients must undergo hemodialysis throughout their lives. One of the side effects of hemodialysis is fatigue. One of the factors that influence fatigue in hemodialysis patients is factors related to dialysis, namely the length of time undergoing hemodialysis. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the length of time undergoing hemodialysis and the incidence of fatigue in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Indramayu Hospital. This research uses analytical research methods with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, with a total sample of 112 respondents. The instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis using chi square test. The results showed that 63 (56.3%) respondents who underwent hemodialysis had been undergoing hemodialysis for a long time and were included in the category of having undergone hemodialysis for a long time. The incidence of fatigue in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis was 67 (59.8%) respondents included in the fatigue category. Data analysis using chi square showed that p-value= 0.000, which means that there is a relationship between the length of undergoing hemodialysis and the incidence of fatigue. It is recommended for hemodialysis nurses to provide education to chronic kidney disease patients on how to reduce fatigue while undergoing hemodialysis]
