Abstract:
Effective self-management is vital for improving outcomes in middle-aged and younger adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis. However, their self-management behaviors vary widely and remain understudied. This cross-sectional study included 458 individuals to identify distinct self-management profiles and related influencing factors. Participants completed a self-management behavior scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Latent profile analysis revealed three profiles: Skill Deficiency Type (n = 157), Emotional Disorders Type (n = 190), and Comprehensive Self-manager (n = 111). Education level, dialysis duration, dialysis frequency, anxiety, and depression levels differed significantly between groups (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed these as key predictors of profile membership. Findings highlight the heterogeneity of self-management in this population, influenced mainly by educational background, dialysis experience, and psychological health. Tailored interventions addressing both behavior and emotional support are recommended to enhance patient outcomes.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
