Background:Chronic kidney disease(CKD)patients undergo hemodialysis to treat their condition.But this treatment comes with its own set of problems like psychiatric and mental disorders.Many of these patients experience low self-esteem,stress,depression,and anxiety,making it difficult to cope with their disease.CKD is a global general medical issue.Psychiatric disorders have been reported in more than 50% of end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.Unfortunately,their attending doctors and nurses often overlook these psychological problems.Furthermore,the non-psychiatric medication prescribed may not help alleviate the symptoms of emotional distress.Objective:The article aimed to explore and review the literature concerning the psychological impact of CKD and hemodialysis on patients with CKD.Method:A literature review based on previous studies and assessments derived from international databases(PubMed,Medline and Scopus)related to people's psychological problems with CKD.The data collection was conducted from 24 November 2021 to 10 February 2022.Also,was used keywords such as hemodialysis,kidney failure,psychological disorders or factors,economic status,social status,and quality of life.Conclusion:Psychiatric disorders in patients with CKD and undergoing hemodialysis are ignored,negatively impacting their quality of life.Awareness of CKD is lacking among physicians and general public health because the worldwide burden increases.The disease's complexity and chronic nature affect patients'quality of life with CKD and their health.Therefore,nephrology nurses play an essential role in ensuring effective nursing intervention and psychological support of patients with CKD during hemodialysis therapy.
