Abstract

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is progressive, requiring adjustment. This descriptive correlational study examined levels of and relationships between adjustment, spiritual well-being, and self-perceived health in women with ESRD. The sample included 65 women aged 24 to 82 receiving hemodialysis at five out-patient centers in a large metropolitan area. Frequencies, central tendencies, and correlations were used for analyses. Overall, these women were fairly well adjusted as measured by the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self-Report. They demonstrated fairly high levels of religious, existential, and overall spiritual well-being. Self-perceived health was good. Spiritual well-being variables were all positively and significantly related to overall psychosocial adjustment and psychological distress adjustment. Self-perceived health variables were all positively and significantly related to overall psychosocial adjustment. Few significant relationships were found between spiritual well-being and other adjustment domains and between self-perceived health and other types of adjustment.
