The Relationship between Social Support and Fatigue Severity among Hemodialysis Patients Abstract Fatigue is a frequent complaint of hemodialysis patients and occurs after dialysis sessions. Dealing with fatigue in dialysis patients requires effective social support. Hemodialysis patients receive a high level of social support. The study aimed to assess the relationship between social support and fatigue severity among hemodialysis patients. A quantitative descriptive correlational research design was used. The study was conducted in the Artificial Kidney Unit at AL Noor Specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. A convenience sample of 65 adult hemodialysis patients was recruited. Data were collected through two tools; Tool I, Fatigue Severity Scale which consists of two parts; Part I, Socio-demographic and clinical data. Part II, Fatigue Severity Scale to measure the severity of fatigue. Tool II, a Multidimensional scale of perceived social support to measure how much support a patient feels they get from family, friends and significant others. The study results showed that 40.0 % of the studied participants had no fatigue, 35.4 % had mild fatigue, while 23.1 % had moderate fatigue and 1.5 % had severe fatigue. It was found that 52.3 % had moderate social support, 44.6 % had high social support, and 3.1 % had low social support. There was a positive correlation with statistical significance between the severity of fatigue and total social support with p-value 0.016, particularly significant others and family support with p-value 0.001, and 0.030, respectively. It was concluded that there was a positive correlation between fatigue severity and total social support particularly significant other and family support. There was no statistically significant relationship between fatigue severity and socio-demographic and clinical data |
