Abstract
Objective

This study was conducted to evaluate the body image perception, pain, fatigue and anxiety levels of individuals with kidney transplantation and undergoing hemodialysis and waiting for kidney transplantation.

Materials and methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted with 240 individuals who applied to the nephrology outpatient clinic and dialysis unit between 29 August 2021 and 20 May 2022. Data in the study were collected using Patient Information Form, LANSS Pain Scale, Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, Beck Anxiety Scale and Body Image Scale.

Results

The Body Image Scale total score average of individuals undergoing hemodialysis is 104.8 ± 15.4, the LANSS Pain Scale total score average is 18.7 ± 5.4, the Visual Similarity Scale total score average for Fatigue is 29.5 ± 1.2, and the Beck Anxiety Scale total score average is 104.8 ± 15.4. The total score average is 47.6 ± 6.8.

The LANSS Pain Scale total mean score of individuals with kidney transplantation is 8.2 ± 2.0, the Body Image Scale total score mean is 75.6 ± 3.5, the Visual Similarity Scale total score mean for Fatigue is 24.3 ± 1, and the Beck Anxiety Scale total score mean is 24.3 ± 1. The mean total score of the scale was found to be 25.6 ± 4.1.

Conclusion

It has been determined that hemodialysis patients waiting for a kidney transplant are not satisfied with their body image, experience more pain, and have higher levels of fatigue and anxiety than patients who have had a kidney transplant.

Los datos del estudio se recogieron mediante el formulario de información del paciente, la escala de dolor LANSS, la Escala Visual Analógica de fatiga, la escala de ansiedad de Beck y la escala de imagen corporal.

Resultados

La media de la puntuación total de la Escala de Imagen Corporal de los individuos sometidos a hemodiálisis es de 104,8 ± 15,4, la media de la puntuación total de la Escala de Dolor LANSS es de 18,7 ± 5,4, la media de la puntuación total de la Escala Visual Analógica de Fatiga es de 29,5 ± 1,2, y la media de la puntuación total de la Escala de Ansiedad de Beck es de 104,8 ± 15,4. La media de la puntuación total es de 47,6 ± 6,8.

La puntuación media total de la Escala de Dolor LANSS de los individuos con trasplante renal es de 8,2 ± 2,0, la puntuación media total de la Escala de Imagen Corporal es de 75,6 ± 3,5, la puntuación media total de la Escala Visual Analógica de Fatiga es de 24,3 ± 1, y la puntuación media total de la Escala de Ansiedad de Beck es de 24,3 ± 1. La puntuación media total de la escala resultó ser de 25,6 ± 4,1.
