Abstract:
Chronic kidney failure (CKD) is currently one of the most common diseases and attention in the world, including in Indonesia. Length of time undergoing hemodialysis hemodialysis will often be exposed to side effects that is IDWG. This study aimed to determine the relationship between duration of hemodialysis and IDWG. This research design used correlation analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study was patients undergoing hemodialysis at RSU Dr. Soeroto Ngawi numbered 44 people. The sampling technique of this research was consecutive sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 42 people. The research instrument used an observation sheet. Data analysis used Spearman Rho test. The results showed that most of the respondents underwent hemodialysis <12 months, namely 24 people (57.2%), and most of the respondents experienced an intolerable IDWG, namely 30 people (71.4%). The results of the Spearman Rho test showed that p-value = 0.000 so that H1 was accepted, meaning that there was a relationship between the length of time undergoing hemodialysis and Interdyalitic Weight Gain (IDWG) at Dr Soeroto Ngawi General Hospital, meaning that the longer the hemodialysis procedure, the lower the IDWG value or the more tolerated the IDWG value. This is because the longer undergoing hemodialysis, the more knowledge about what hemodialysis patients must undergo including dietary compliance, fluid restriction, and compliance in undergoing hemodialysis so that IDWG can be limited.
