“A descriptive study was designed “A study to assess the knowledge and practices of dietary regulations in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis at K.L.E’S Hospital and MRC Belgaum”.

RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar o nível de resiliência dos portadores de insuficiência renal crônica em tratamento de hemodiálise. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, quantitativo e de abordagem descritiva. A amostra foi constituída por 61 pacientes em tratamento dialítico. Para obtenção dos resultados, foi utilizada a escala de resiliência, desenvolvida por Wagnild e Young (1993) e adaptada por Pesce et al., (2005). Foi aplicado, também, um questionário para caracterização pessoal, familiar, social, econômica e de saúde do grupo. Resultados: Foi constatado que 61% dos pacientes apresentaram tendência à resiliência. O gênero masculino obteve maior pontuação, sugerindo maior tendência à resiliência, bem como os pacientes que são praticantes de uma religião. Conclusão: Os resultados assinalam que os pacientes em tratamento dialítico no hospital apresentam capacidade à resiliência, o que sugere melhor adaptação ao tratamento.Palavras-chave: Avaliação, Resiliência psicológica, Insuficiência renal crônica.ABSTRACTObjective: To evaluate de the level of resilience in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis. Materials and Methods: Prospective, quantitative and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 61 patients on dialysis. To obtain the results we used Resilience Scale developed by Wagnild and Young (1993) and adapted by Pesce et al., (2005). A questionnaire to characterize personal, familiar, social, economic and health status was applied. Results: It was found that 61% of patients showed trend to resilience. Males had higher scores, suggesting more likelihood to resilience, as well as patients who were practitioners of a religion. Conclusion: The results indicate that the majority of patients on dialysis have capability of resilience, which suggests better adaptation to treatment.Keywords: Evaluation, Psychological resilience, Chronic renal insufficiency.

Background Anemia in chronic renal failure (CRF) has beenproved to influence the quality of life, increasing morbidity andmortality. Early diagnosis and prompt treatments of anemia aremandatory to manage CRF appopriately. So far data of anemia inCRF in Indonesia is limited.Objective To find out the profile of anemia in children with CRF atCipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (CMH), Jakarta, with special atten-tion in erythrocyte indices and iron deficiency anemia.Methods Cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out onpatients with CRF and anemia in CMH since October 2003 to April2004.Results There were 20 CRF patients, aged between 1 year 3 month-15 year old, mostly were above 10 year old, 11 patients were malesand 9 were females. The most frequent etiologies were urinarytract infection (UTI) in 10 cases and nephrotic syndrome in 6 cases.Of those 20 patients, 14 suffered from anemia with erythrocyteindices, normochrome normocytic in 9 patients and hypochromemicrocytic in 5 patients. Of 14 anemic patients only 1 patient suf-fered from iron deficiency anemia of less than 10 mg/l and transferinsaturation of less than 12%. Based on serum iron (SI) concentra-tion only, 7 patients were diagnosed as having iron deficiency ane-mia.Conclusion Most patients with chronic renal failure havenormochrome normocytic anemia. Hypochromic microcytic irondeficiency anemia is scarcely found in this group of patients.

Occupational Activities

This analytical descriptive study aimed at assessing the perception of people with chronic renal failure in relation to their daily and occupational activities. The sample was formed by 35 men and 35 women receiving hemodialysis treatment with ages between 17 and 60 years. The instrument used was the SAOF (Self Assessment of Occupational Functioning). The data were submitted to statistical analysis and the areas with greater choice of the alternative "need to improve" were habits (20%) and values (20.5%). In these areas, the proportion related with difficulties was more evident regarding organization of the daily life, the changes of routines and the expectations about the future. Therefore, occupational therapy, as it presents instrumental resources to reorganize daily life of these patients, can contribute for their care as well as with information for nursing.

Abstract: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a chronic disorder of renal function which develops progressively and irreversibly. Ultrasonography (USG) is currently used as the first examination in CRF patients to obtain some information about the parenchym, collecting system, and renal vasculature. Abdominal USG in CRF patients is usually characterized by a more hyperchoic cortex which is almost the same as the renal sinus. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of renal USG of CRF patients at the Radiology Departement of Medical Faculty Sam Ratulangi University/Prof Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado during April 1 to September 30, 2015. This was a retrospective descriptive study using medical record data at the Radiology Departement. Samples were all request paper of patients diagnosed as CRF with USG performed on them. The results showed 64 CRF cases with renal USG. Patients with CRF were most males (78.5%) and age group 56 - 65 years (29.7%). Most patients with CRF had bilateral renal disorder (98.5%). Conclusion: Most patients with chronic renal failure were males, age group of 56-65 years old, and had affected kidneys bilaterally.Keywords: ultrasonography, chronic renal failure (CRF) Abstrak: Gagal ginjal kronik (GGK) adalah gangguan fungsi ginjal yang menahun, bersifat progresif dan ireversibel. Ultrasonografi (USG) saat ini digunakan sebagai pemeriksaan pertama secara rutin pada keadaan gagal ginjal untuk memperoleh informasi tentang parenkim, sistem kolekting, dan pembuluh darah ginjal. Ultrasonografi abdomen pada pasien GGK biasanya ditandai dengan kortek yang lebih hiperekoik hingga hampir sama dengan sinus renalis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran USG ginjal pada penderita GGK di Bagian Radiologi FK Unsrat/SMF Radiologi RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif retrospektif dengan memanfaatkan data rekam medik di Bagian Radiologi. Sampel penelitian ialah semua lembaran permintaan penderita yang sudah didiagnosis GGK dengan pemeriksaan USG ginjal di Bagian Radiologi RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado periode 1 April-30 September 2015. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 64 kasus GGK pada periode tersebut; lebih banyak pada laki-laki (78,5%) dan kelompok usia 56-65 tahun (29,7%). Penderita GGK terbanyak ditemukan bilateral (98,5%). Simpulan: Penderita GGK terutama ditemukan pada jenius kelamin laki-laki, kelompok usia 56-65 tahun, dan terjadi bilateral.Kata kunci: ultrasonografi Ginjal, gagal ginjal kronik (GGK)
