- Abstract
Objective: to identify aspects impacting on quality of life for children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, from the perspective of health professionals, as an essential step for the construction of a specific module of the DISABKIDS® instrument. Method: methodological study. Data was collected between May and June 2012, through personal interviews with 12 participants, in two dialysis centers. The empirical material was analyzed according to the thematic content analysis, using the program MAXQDA - Qualitative Data Analysis Software. Results: we identified seven themes: self-care, family support, impact of diagnosis, expectation of kidney transplant, truancy, socialization and stigma, grouped into three domains. Conclusion: the results showed aspects that impact the quality of life of these customers and, therefore, will be considered in the development of specific DISABKIDS® module. In addition, these aspects are relevant to the preparation and planning of actions directed towards children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease.
