Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients after kidney transplants as well as the associated factors in Cho Ray Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cho Ray Hospital clinic from May 2021 to February 2022. The quality of life for kidney patients (KDQOL-36) was used to evaluate patients’ QoL after kidney transplantation with a score of 1-100. There were 400 participants, in which 294 were male and 106 were female. Study participants aged 20-74 years (40.25 years ± 10.14). 160 participants had a kidney transplant >5 years. In general, patients’ QoL after kidney transplantation is average (56.59 ± 10.28). The linear regression model shows that the QoL of patients after kidney transplant had a negative relationship with age (ß=-0.22, p<0.001), comorbidities (ß=-4.04, p<0.001), female gender (ß=-4.47, p<0.001). Moreover, using standard immune suppressive has a positive association with quality of life among kidney transplant patients (ß=0.09, p=0.038). It is necessary to develop intervention programs to improve the QoL for patients after kidney transplantation.
