Background: Hemodialysis impacts the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease. Particularly, depression is the most common psychological condition among patients. Self-care self-efficacy might play an important role in quality of life of patients with hemodialysis.Objective: This study was designed to explore the relationships among self-care self-efficacy, depression, and quality of life. The second aim was to explore the extent to which self-care self-efficacy and depression explain the variance in quality of life of patients on hemodialysis.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 127 patients receiving hemodialysis and used the Short Form 36 Health Survey, the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 to evaluate quality of life, self-care self-efficacy, and depression. Data was analyzed using independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation and hierarchical multiple regression.Results: The findings indicated that self-care self-efficacy was significantly positively correlated (PCSr= .533,p < 0.001, MCSr= .47,p < .001) and depression was significantly negatively correlated (PCSr= −.446,p < .001, MCSr= −.605,p < .001) with the two quality of life components. Self-care self-efficacy and depression were significant predictors of the physical (R²inc= 0.09,β= -0.38,p<0.001,R²inc= 0.12,β =-0.22,p<0.001) and mental (R²inc= 0.04%,β= -0.25,p<0.001,R²inc= 0.33,β= -0.51,p<0.001) quality of life of hemodialysis patients.Conclusions: Health professionals may target improving self-care self-efficacy and reducing depressive symptoms to enhance patient quality of life.

Self-care and self-efficacy play an important role in predicting quality of life among patients undergoing hemodialysis, but there currently is a lack of an instrument in the Vietnamese language for assessing self-care and self-efficacy. This limits the ability of researchers to explore and determine the confidence patients have in their ability to perform relevant self-care activities. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the validity and reliability of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health questionnaire-Vietnamese version. This cross-sectional study involved translation, validation, and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire into Vietnamese and a trial with 127 patients undergoing hemodialysis in Bach Mai Hospital (Hanoi, Vietnam). The questionnaire was translated by bilingual translators and validated by three experts. Internal consistency and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. This questionnaire demonstrated good content validity and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.95 for the total scale. Confirmatory factor analysis of the three-factor model showed moderate model fit (comparative fit index = 0.84, Tucker–Lewis coefficient = 0.82, root mean square error of approximation = 0.09). Overall, this questionnaire exhibited acceptable validity and reliability for measuring self-care and self-efficacy among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

ObjectiveTo provide insights into the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive frailty among older adults in Bekasi, Indonesia.MethodsA total of 308 community-dwelling older adults in Bekasi, Indonesia participated in this cross-sectional study. Demographic data and various measurement tools, including the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Barthel Index, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Score, and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) assessment, were employed to evaluate health status. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the cognitive frailty-associated factors.ResultsThe prevalence of cognitive frailty in Indonesia was found to be 8.44%. Factors significantly associated with cognitive frailty in this Indonesian cohort included marital status, lifestyle choices, the presence of comorbid conditions, history of serious illness, fall incidents, reduced physical performance, nutritional status, levels of depression, and self-reported quality of life.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this represents the first investigation into cognitive frailty within this population. The findings are significant, offering empirical evidence regarding the prevalence of cognitive frailty within the Indonesian population.KeywordsCognitive frailty, community-dwelling, older adults, prevalence
