Objective:
to assess the financial toxicity of people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment.
Method:
a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, carried out with 214 people, between February and May 2022. For data collection, a sociodemographic and clinical instrument and the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity were used. For analysis, the Odds Ratio, ANOVA and Cronbach's alpha tests were used.
Results:
the mean financial toxicity score was 20.30. Women with a monthly family income of at most two minimum wages are more likely to have some degree of financial toxicity (Odds Ratio: 0.85; 0.76).
Conclusion:
financial toxicity was identified to different degrees and varied according to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Measuring financial toxicity can help nurses plan care and develop strategies to avoid interrupting treatment.
