Abstract(s)
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between satisfaction with life in general
and the sociodemographic and emotional factors and components of quality of life
in people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. A cross-sectional and
correlational study was performed on a sample of 171 people with chronic kidney disease
in two hemodialysis units at a Clinic in Lisbon between May and June 2015. Subjective
wellbeing (personal wellbeing index) is positively related with subjective happiness, positive
affect, and quality of life and is negatively associated with negative affect. Subjective
happiness, negative affect, and the physical component of quality of life influence subjective
wellbeing. These conclusions can assist us in understanding that people with chronic
kidney disease (CKD) encounter greater feelings of wellbeing, mainly related to pleasant
affect (subjective happiness and positive affect).
