The association between vascular access satisfaction and quality of life and depression in maintained hemodialysis patients

BACKGROUND: Vascular access (VA) is known to be critical for the survival of patients on maintained hemodialysis (MHD) treatment. However, the association between VA satisfaction and psychiatric state in MHD patients is still not fully elucidated. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship among VA satisfaction, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and depression in MHD patients with different VA types.

METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at two dialysis centers with MHD-dependent patients. The Short Form Vascular Access Questionnaire (VAQ) was administered to estimate the level of MHD patients' satisfaction with their VA. HRQOL was assessed using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Depression was assessed using the Zung's self-rating depression scale (SDS).

RESULTS: Of the total 252 patients, AVF was used by 84.13%, AVG was used by 2.78%, and TCC was used by 13.09%. There was no significant difference in satisfaction and SDS scores by access type in patients with AVF, AVG, and TCC. However, HRQOL was worst in patients with TCC, and highest in the AVF group. Further analysis showed that VAQ scores in the domains of overall and dialysis-related complications exhibited a negative correlation with HRQOL. And SF-36 HRQOL scores, including the total score, PCS and MCS, were all negatively correlated with SDS scores (p < 0.05). The results of multivariable analyses found that VAQ scores in the domains of overall score and physical symptom, and total score of HRQOL influenced the depression.

CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, no significant difference in satisfaction scores by access type was found in patients with AVF, AVG, and TCC. The HRQOL score was higher in patients with AVF than in those with AVG or TCC. And the result suggested a negative association between HRQOL and depression. Vascular access satisfaction and HRQOL might be risk factors for the presence of depression in MHD patients.
