- Abstract
The objective was to outline the epidemiological profile of patients with CRF on hemodialysis in the city of Teresina-PI. This is a descriptive quantitative study, conducted in the nephrology unit convening the National Health System (SUS), with 64 patients. Data collection occurred from March to May of 2010. It was found that the majority of patients are male (67.19%), aged 40-59 years (40.63%), and 60.94% were married, living in Teresina (64.06%) with fewer years of education, individual income 1-2 minimum wages and proper housing. In 69% the underlying disease was hypertension and diabetes, and the principal problems were the effects caused by treatment and transport, influencing the maintenance of hemodialysis. Such factors serve to support decisions to improve care for these patients jointly with nurses working in the prevention of diseases leading to CRF.
