First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create and validate a questionnaire that measures how people with chronic kidney failure experience each hemodialysis session. Researchers want to capture physical, emotional, and relational factors that affect the quality of the session. The tool could help healthcare teams identify ways to make dialysis more comfortable and improve patients' overall quality of life. The study includes 297 French-speaking adults on hemodialysis.
