The purposes of this study were to explore the relationship between coping behaviors and outcomes of patients who were treated with hemodialysis, and to determine the predictors of such outcomes. A cross-section survey was conducted. The structural questionnaire, containing basic personal data, coping behavior scale and outcomes of coping, was used. There were 206 subjects who had been treated with hemodialysis for at least three months format three hemodialysis centers of regional hospitals in the middle of Taiwan. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 10.0. The findings were as follows: (1) Problem-oriented coping behaviors had a positive relationship to coping outcomes. (2) Emotional-oriented coping behaviors had a negative relationship to coping outcomes. (3) Multiple regression analysis showed that the predictors regarding perception of health status were as follows: single or married, length of hemodialysis treatment and higher problem-oriented coping behavior scores, which explained 42.7% of variances. Patients who had high school educational background, single or married and higher problem-oriented coping behavior scores showed a better perception of quality of life. These variables explained 26.2% variances of quality of life. The findings of this research can facilitate nurse practitioners to predict the adaptation of hemodialysis patients and to help patients to better utilize coping behaviors. |
