Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores asociados a depresión y ansiedad en pacientes de una unidad renal privada de la ciudad de Azogues. Marzo – agosto 2024(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Castro Tapia, Andrea Cristina; Dután Carangui, Lisseth Estefanía; Merchán Coronel, María Graciela; 0302492319; 0350092821Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is defined by the presence of structural or functional renal abnormalities that persist for more than three months. Hemodialysis is the most common method for treating CKD. However, the therapeutic regimen, along with disease progression and associated complications, has been linked to psychological issues such as anxiety and depression. Objective: To determine the factors associated with depression and anxiety in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment at a private renal unit in Azogues in 2024. Methodology: This is a non-experimental, quantitative, cross-sectional study conducted on patients of the Private Renal Unit of Azogues, Ecuador. The study population comprises all 104 patients undergoing hemodialysis, defined according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The levels of depression and anxiety were predominantly mild, affecting 49% of patients. Depression and anxiety were more prevalent in men at 60.6%, particularly in the age group of 61–70 years at b68.3%. Married individuals were the most affected group at 67.3%, and 50% of patients had been undergoing hemodialysis for 1–3 years. Conclusion: Levels of depression and anxiety show a significant tendency to develop concerning sociodemographic factors. Keywords: anxiety, depression, hemodialysis, chronic kidney diseaseÍtem Acceso Abierto Nivel de conocimientos sobre el autocuidado del acceso vascular en pacientes que se realizan hemodiálisis. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Rivera Guillen, Irma Vanessa; Merchán Coronel, María Graciela; 0302903257A vascular access is an opening in the skin and a blood vessel; blood flows from the vessel to the machine in the hemodialysis process. The access requires special care to avoid complications for the patient. Objective: To determine the level of knowledge on vascular access self-care through a systematic review. Methodology: A descriptive systematic review was conducted using scientific databases such as SciELO and Dialnet to gather information. Results: After reviewing various scientific sources, 17 research articles were selected, which enabled to deduce that the level of knowledge about self-care of vascular access in hemodialysis patients is determined by factors such as age, educational level, and access to health services. Conclusion: Younger and more educated patients tend to have a better understanding of vascular access self-care; factors such as advanced age, cognitive impairment, lack of family support, and the duration of treatment may negatively affect patients' ability to perform adequate self-care. Keywords: knowledge, vascular access, self-care, hemodialysis.
