The Relationship between Self Efficacy and Anxiety in Chronic Kidney Failure Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience anxiety due to the long-term treatment process and uncertainty regarding their health conditions. One important factor influencing anxiety levels is self-efficacy, which refers to an individual’s confidence in their ability to manage difficult situations. High self-efficacy is believed to reduce anxiety and improve patients’ ability to undergo treatment effectively.
Objective: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital.
Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 58 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using the Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy (CKD-SE) questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses with correlation tests.
Results: The findings showed that most patients with high self-efficacy experienced low levels of anxiety, whereas patients with low self-efficacy tended to experience moderate to severe anxiety. Statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety.
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Improving self-efficacy is important in helping reduce patient anxiety.
Suggestion: This study is expected to serve as a basis for nursing interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy among patients with chronic kidney disease, as well as providing appropriate education and psychological support during hemodialysis treatment.
