Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease is a failure of kidney function to maintain metabolism, and
balance of fluid and electrolytes due to the progressive destruction of kidney
structure. Increased fluid volume must be limited. If there is excess can cause
edema, tightness and decreased consciousness. Therefore, patient motivation is
needed to control changes of Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG). The aim of this
study is to prove the relationship of patient motivation with changes of IDWG in
CKD patients. The design of this study was correlational analysis with a crosssectional
approach. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling type
purposive sampling, 40 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at the
RSUD Bangil were enrolled in this study. Data collection was using a questionnaire.
Data analysis was using Spearman rho statistical test, which showed a significance
value of 0,000 that was smaller than alpha (0.05), so it can be concluded that there
was a significant relationship between patient motivation and IDWG changes of
CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Strong motivation to undergo
hemodialysis is important because hemodialysis has become a necessity for him, a
treatment must be undertaken by patients with chronic kidney disease.
