ANXIETY WITH SLEEP QUALITY IN CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALISIS

Abstract

Sleep is a fundamental physiological need, during which the body undergoes cellular recovery, leading to a refreshed state. However, sleep disturbances are frequently observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis, with anxiety being a significant factor that affects sleep quality. This study aims to examine the relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis. A quantitative research approach with an associative correlational design was employed, utilizing a cross-sectional method. A total of 56 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to assess anxiety levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality. The findings revealed that 57.1% of patients experienced mild anxiety, while 73.21% of patients had good sleep quality. Statistical analysis using the Spearman Rank test showed a significant negative correlation between anxiety and sleep quality, with a p-value of 0.000 and a rho value of -0.573. These results indicate that higher anxiety levels are associated with poorer sleep quality in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. The study concludes that addressing anxiety is crucial in improving sleep quality in this patient population.
