Loneliness in Older Adults Receiving Hemodialysis and Associated Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study
The results indicate that older patients receiving hemodialysis have a moderate level of loneliness. Based on the identified predictors, nurses should pay particular attention to patients who are female, are experiencing a higher fatigue level, and/or have lower social support. Future studies may use these results to develop strategies for preventing and improving loneliness among older adults receiving hemodialysis.
