Abstract
The current study aimed to determine whether certain variables, particularly self-management, were significantly associated with quality of life (QoL) among Thai patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). A cross-sectional design was used to conduct the study. Data were collected from 92 patients undergoing CAPD at Banphaeo Dialysis Center, Bangkok using self-administered questionnaires and a body composition monitor. They were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the mean score for overall self-management capabilities was 3.36, indicating a good level of self-management, whereas the mean score for overall QoL was 63.16, indicating a fair level. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the diet and fluid restriction component of self-management was a significant determinant of the overall QoL and SF-36 general health QoL, that the medications component of self-management was a significant determinant of the overall QoL and end-stage kidney disease-specific QoL, and that the duration of CAPD treatment was a determinant of the SF-36 general health QoL.
