Anxiety and depression are associated with higher morbidity in multiple domains of well-being of the CKD patients. The present study was conducted assess coping strategies among CKD undergoing hemodialysis. Materials & Methods- The present study comprised of 128 patients with CKD of both genders. The eight ways of coping subscales were confrontive coping, distancing, self-controlling, seeking social support, accepting responsibility, escape-avoidance, planful problem-solving, positive reappraisal. Results- Out of 128 patients, males were 70 and females were 58. The difference was non- significant (P- 0.17). Education was primary (males- 20, females- 17), high (males- 40, females- 28), secondary (males- 10, females- 13). The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Males were married (60) and females were married (56). Income was acceptable in males (55) and females (50). The difference was significant (P- 0.01). There was no significant association between hemodialysis stressors and gender. In regard to the use of coping strategies, younger participants tended to use self-controlling and escape-avoidance strategies more than the older participants. Both coping subscales had significant negative correlation with age (r = −.26) and (r = −.19). Conclusion- Attention should be focused towards the psychosocial stressors of patients on hemodialysis and also helping patients utilize the coping strategies that help to alleviate the stressors.
