Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine how chronic renal failure or cancer patients felt about their bodies during treatment. The sample was comprised of 22 subjects; 10 hemodialysis, six continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and six chemotherapy patients. The settings included an outpatient dialysis center and an inpatient/outpatient chemotherapy treatment center. Two instruments, the Body Attitude Scale and the Body Cathexis Scale, were used to describe the patients' feelings about their bodies. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. A significant difference on t

Abstract:

Continued rise in the incidence of late graft loss despite better immunosuppression and improvement in acute rejection rates has led to renewed interest in the effect of HLA antibodies on long term graft outcomes. The significance of pre—transplant HLA antibodies detected by the widely used CDC assay on early graft outcomes is well studied. However, a lot remains unknown about effects of pre—transplant antibodies detected by sensitive solid phase assays on early and late graft outcomes. This is due to increased use of these assays resulting in better detection of HLA and non HLA antibo

Thesis (MNutr (Human Nutrition))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background Patients with chronic renal failure must deal not only with the disease itself, but also have to follow a strict dietary regimen. In South Africa there is currently a great demand for new and updated recipes based on the South African Renal Exchange Lists. The focus of this research was the development and testing of recipes commonly used by renal patients following a westernised diet.

Abstract:

This study investigated the hypothesis that dietary compliance among hemodialysis patients is related to their health locus of control orientation, as well as other factors. Fifty chronic hemodialysis patients were studied over a 3-month period. Among women interdialytic weight gain as a percentage of body weight (%BWG) was positively correlated with the number of weekly hemodialysis sessions and negatively related to ease of fluid compliance. Among men %BWG was positively correlated with powerful others health locus of control, family support, and hemodialysis tenure, and negatively correlate

Abstract:

This descriptive, correlational designed study was concerned with noncompliance with therapeutic regimens, a pervasive clinical problem which is confounded with the lack of a strong link among theory, research and practice. The focus was on one of the constructs included the Reciprocal Interaction Model of Compliance Behaviors, which was derived using a modified grounded theory methodology and following various theory building prescriptions. The overall purpose was to begin to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of this empirically, qualitatively and retroductively generated explanation of compliance

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Despite the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease, renal narratives are under-reported. Much of what is written on kidney failure is written by health care professionals for health care professionals and about patients. While medical experts and health care practitioners have one type of knowledge, their patients have another type of knowledge acquired through their experience of their own condition. From within the disability and patients’ rights movements urgent calls have been made for the authentic voices of disable
