Abstract
Introduction: Prolonged recovery time is associated significantly with higher hospitalization and mortality, while the factors influencing recovery time post- hemodialysis is still a problem and contradictive. The study examines the length of recovery time and related factors among hemodialysis patients. Methods: A quantitative study with a descriptive analytic design was used by incorporated 101 patients undergoing hemodialysis recruited by consecutive sampling. The patients were asked how long it took to recover after a previous hemodialysis session, while the recovery time was assessed using the questionnaire developed by Lindsay and calculated in hours comprising <6, 6-12, and > 12 hours. Furthermore, the demographic data and hemodialysis factors were analyzed to identify associated factors with recovery time. Results: The results showed that the recovery time in categories of < 6, 6-12, and >12 hours were reportedly 45.5, 37.6, and 16.8, respectively. In this study, data demographic showed the respondents' age ranged from 45 - 59 years (44.6), while the majority of gender was male (54.5). Moreover, hemodialysis factors showed most respondents (44.6) have been undergoing hemodialysis for 1-3 years, and the schedule was mostly in the morning. Moreover, the quick of blood (QB) was dominated by ≥ 200 ml/minutes (69.3), ultrafiltration rate (UFR) was 5 - ≤15 ml/minutes (68.3), and hemodialysis adequacy (Kt/V) was ≥ 1.2 (79.2). Biochemical status showed that most of patient's hemoglobin level was < 10 mg/dl (72.3) The recovery time post-hemodialysis was found to be significantly associated with gender, hemodialysis schedule, ultrafiltration rate, interdialytic weight gain, and hemoglobin (p-value < 0.05). The multiple regression analysis found a significant correlation for interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) with a coefficient of 0.479. Conclusion: This study showed that the recovery time is related to certain variables among patients undergoing hemodialysis. © 2022 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
