Abstract

Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRF) is a slow-graded pathology, characterized by structural and / or functional changes in renal function, a vital organ in maintaining hydroelectrolytic balance. To evaluate the quality of life of chronic renal patients undergoing substitution therapy undergoing Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis. Field research with a qualitative exploratorydescriptive approach, carried out at the Health Education Clinic (CEPS) of the Instituto Educacional Santa Catarina - IESC / FAG in the city of Guaraí - TO. The study population consists of 07 patients with CRF undergoing Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). The WHOQOL questionnaire was applied to assess Quality of Life (QOL), the information collected was organized and presented in the form of graphs. In the QOL domain, 71.4% of the survey participants declared their QOL to be poor or very bad and only 28.6% reported good QOL, these results show how much the disease interferes with the individual's biopsychosocial aspects. The prevalence of patients on Hemodialysis is significantly higher when compared to Peritoneal Dialysis. The QoL of patients on RRT is substantially lower due to the burden caused by the disease, which reinforces the need for preventive measures.
