Abstract

Chronic Kidney Failure Patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy experience an impact. Not only the physical
impact, but the patient also experiences a psychosocial impact. On the other hand, the patient must also continue
his life with a good quality of life. This study aims to obtain an overview of the supporting factors of chronic kidney
failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy to continue their lives. This research used qualitative research
with a phenomenological study approach. Data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with
32 participants who underwent hemodialysis therapy at a hospital in Buleleng. Data was analyzed by the steps
in the Colaizzi method. Results: There were 4 themes generated: encouragement to bounce back from oneself,
support from the surrounding environment, psychological burden during treatment, and the role of religion and
culture. This theme is the basis for developing intervention models and service systems to reduce psychosocial
distress in patients undergoing hemodialysis
