Hemodialysis is the most frequently renal substitutive therapy used by patients with chronic renal
failure. However, continuation with this kind of treatment had demonstrated to provoke disarranging
and changes on daily routine, affecting patient s quality of life. Present study main objective was

of the instrument called Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF). Were
interviewed 72 chronic kidney failure patients under hemodialysis treatment in Goiânia / GO, Brazil.
For statistical data analysis, a significance level of 5% and a 95% of confidence interval were used.
The majority of patients are male, with mean age of 51.1 ± 16,6 years (20 to 80 yr), catholics, and
they just know how to read and write as education level. The time of hemodialysis treatment was 12 -
60 months for most of them, as well as the family income is 01 or 02 salaries. The majority doesn t
work and live with their family or spouse. The results evidenced that the quality of life of chronic renal
failure patients receiving hemodialysis treatment is impaired in some aspects. The Dimensions
Physical Role, Work Status, Burden of Kidney Disease and Emotional Role had the lowest scores
(20.49, 22.2, 34.55, 36,57 respectively). The highest values were obtained in the Dimensions Dialysis
Staff Encouragement (88.37), Quality of Social Interaction (80.83), Patient Satisfaction (80.09), Sexual

significantly interfered by advanced age, gender, time of treatment, family support, religious choices,
