STRESS AND STRESSORS EXPERIENCED BY PATIENTS ON INITIATION OF HAEMODIALYSIS

Dr. Sonali Tarachand Jadhav

Abstract :

An individual‘s perception or experience of a major change may initiate stress response. The stimuli preceding or precipitating the change are called Stressors(1). Excessive stress can threaten the way a person normally perceives reality, solves problems, and thinks in general and a person‘s relationships and sense of belongingness. Stress can also threaten a person‘s general outlook on life and health status(1).Several studies have attempted to assess the stress and stressors experienced by haemodialysis patients. Researchers have used quantitative as well as qualitative measures to assess stress in past. Since stress is a subjective experience qualitative research methodology is better suited to assess the concept of stress. The literature information presented in this review article attempts to present information regarding the stressors identified, factors associated with or influencing stress response and the impact of stress on haemodialysis‘ patients as identified by the past research studies.
