Anxiety as a mediator between symptom distress and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients: insights from mediation analysis and nonlinear models
Anxiety significantly mediates the relationship between symptom burden and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients. These findings underline the importance of integrating psychological interventions and routine symptom screening into patient care to enhance quality of life. Future research should explore longitudinal designs and standardized intervention strategies.
