Life's Style of Children with Maintenance Hemodialysis

Abstract

chronic health problem requires lifestyle changes and adaptations by the sufferer, usually for the remainder of the child’s life. An individual in end-stage renal failure, if not immediately able to receive a donor kidney, then also becomes afflicted with a chronic condition. In such cases, the lifestyle changes and adaptations become a considerable under taking. Further aspects that are unknown are other, less quantifiable components of what is regarded as an acceptable life style. This is particularly relevant if the definition of health-related life style is considered: that includes income, freedom and the environment (Moore et al., 2012). Subjects and Methods This study was aimed to identify the life's style of children with maintenance hemodialysis. The subject and methods of the current study will be discussed under the following four (4) designs: I. Research Design II. Operational Design III. Administrative Design IV. Statistical Design J.
