| dc.description.abstract | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is globally issue health problem in both developed and developing countries. Depression and anxiety occurred in patients with chronic but remain undertreated despite intense unfavorable consequences on patients’ wellbeing. The major purpose of this study was to examine the level of anxiety and depression among chronic kidney patients in Tikure Anbessa and St Paul specialized Hospital. A total of 109 participants were selected using non-probability sampling techniques (convenient sampling techniques). The research design was a cross sectional survey design. Two standardized scales after checking their psychometric property were used to measure quantitative part of the data, which are Beck depression inventory and Hamilton anxiety scale. Quantitative analyses were used to analyze the data obtained through the scale to address the basic research questions in the study, data were analyzed using percentile, Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, and ANOVA statistical techniques. The result shows that based on the minimal and mild classification of depression is 41.3% and 18.4% respectively, 20.2% show moderate level of depression. Mild anxiety symptoms exhibited in 66.2% and mild to moderate symptoms show in 12% of CKD patients. Results from the analysis of variance indicated that there was no statically significant difference in level of anxiety and depression based on age, independent t test indicate there was statically significance difference based on residence area, it indicates that rural area CKD patients had shown anxiety and depression compared to urban area. Correlation analysis shows anxiety and depression have positive relation. The study recommended that provide important data base on level of anxiety and depression among CKD patients in health setting and inspire researchers to further explore these concepts with respect to theory, practice and research in the field of counseling psychology. | en_US |
