health-related quality of life &#40;HRQOL&#41; was developed as a method of measurement&#46; HRQOL is an evaluation of individual health and functioning in terms of daily activities&#44; including physical&#44; psychological&#44; and social function&#44; and the patient&#8217;s general perception of health&#44; mobility&#44; and emotional well-being&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> HRQOL is becoming a fundamental component of providing integrated care for patients with chronic disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In its use in chronic kidney disease&#44; HRQOL indicators have proven to have a tight relationship with morbidity and mortality rates&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span> In addition&#44; dialysis produces several changes in patient lifestyle&#44; which if left unattended&#44; can decrease HRQOL&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;6</span> Several studies have evaluated HRQOL in renal patients on renal replacement therapy with dialysis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;7-11</span> The results from these studies have shown that deterioration in HRQOL is associated with clinical&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12-14</span> sociodemographic&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13&#44;15&#44;16</span> and dialysis characteristics variables&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> as well as cognitive deterioration<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> and emotional alterations&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18&#44;8</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In order to provide integrated care to renal patients&#44; it is essential that psychosocial variables that could affect HRQOL be identified&#44; modulating the interference that the disease produces in the patient&#8217;s capacity for adaptive functioning&#46; In our study&#44; we focused on the following components&#58; social support&#44; self-efficacy&#44; dispositional optimism&#44; depression&#44; anxiety&#44; and coping strategies&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Social support consists of obtaining resources &#40;whether material&#44; cognitive&#44; or emotional&#41; through interaction with other people or sources of support&#46; These resources reduce the perception of bodily threat and facilitate a more effective approach to coping with stressful situations&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span> In renal patients&#44; social support influences survival&#44; adherence to treatment&#44; and the intensity of symptoms of depression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18&#44;20-22</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Self-efficacy refers to the patient&#8217;s own concept of his&#47;her capacity for carrying out actions that will lead to the desired results&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> In renal patients&#44; self-efficacy is associated with self-care of the disease&#44; adherence to treatment&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10&#44;24-26</span> and decreased physical and psychological symptoms&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Dispositional optimism refers to the generalised belief or expectation that life brings positive occurrences&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span> Optimism affects health through coping mechanisms&#44; being associated with more active and effective coping<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;30</span> as well as by decreasing physical symptoms&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span> In renal patients&#44; optimism is associated with increased social support and decreased levels of depression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">31</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In light of the particular life situations experienced by renal patients &#40;loss of renal function&#44; well-being&#44; place in family and work&#44; time&#44; financial resources&#44; and sexual function&#41;&#44; and the continuing uncertainty surrounding their circumstances&#44; anxiety and depression are relatively common&#46; Depression in renal patients has been associated with immunological and nutritional dysfunction&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">32&#44;33</span> a more negative perception of disease&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9&#44;18</span> and decreased HRQOL&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> Anxiety has also been associated with decreased HRQOL&#44; primarily in the first few months of haemodialysis and in elderly patients&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Coping strategies refer to mechanisms commonly used by the individual to deal with stress and everyday issues&#46; These concrete strategies are used in different contexts and can change based on the situation experienced by the patient in each given moment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">34</span> In renal patients&#44; the coping mechanism used influences adaptation to disease and adherence to treatment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;35&#44;36</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The objective of our study was to evaluate HRQOL in renal patients on dialysis&#44;

Based on our results&#44; there appears to be a substantial impairment to HRQOL in our sample&#46; All components of HRQOL were below the reference values established by the SF-36 questionnaire&#44; the most heavily affected components being general health&#44; social function&#44; and physical function&#46; This reflects the psychological impact that this disease has in daily activity&#46; The worst HRQOL score was for the general health section&#44; which implies that patients on dialysis have a negative self-assessment of current health and the possibility of future improvements&#46; The results from our study are comparable to those from other studies that have used the SF-36 scale in patients with chronic renal failure&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">44</span> and generally corroborate the previously available evidence on the subject&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;17&#44;36</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our second objective was to identify the psychosocial variables that could be significant predictors of HRQOL&#46; The results clearly demonstrate that depression was the primary predictor for HRQOL in our sample&#44; with negative correlations with all components of the SF-36 scale and accounting for approximately 50&#37; of variance for physical function&#44; physical role&#44; vitality&#44; social function&#44; and mental health&#46; According to our results&#44; depression produced a highly significant impediment in daily activities&#44; producing lower productivity than desired&#44; increased interference of bodily pain in normal tasks&#44; a more negative appraisal of current health and future prospects&#44; a heightened perception of fatigue and weariness&#44; decreased social life&#44; and greater emotional problems that interfere with daily activities and decrease the mental health of the patient&#46; These results are similar to those presented by other authors&#44; who showed that depression negatively affects the quality of life of renal patients&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;45&#44;46</span> their nutritional state at the start of dialysis&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">47</span> and the level of physical and mental deterioration in general&#44; along with morbidity and mortality rates&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">48&#44;49</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our results also indicated that the degree of concern professed by the patient is negatively correlated with the majority of the components of the HRQOL&#46; This finding corroborates the results from previous studies that showed that&#44; when renal patients are worried about situations regarding their disease&#44; HRQOL diminishes&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10&#44;24&#44;26</span> On the other hand&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that the level of self-efficacy is positively associated with increased physical function&#44; general health&#44; social function&#44; and emotional role&#46; These results also reflect those from previous studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span> where the level of self-efficacy was found to be associated with increased adherence to treatment and behaviours that promote health&#44; and decreased physical and psychological symptoms experienced by renal patients&#46; All of these results support the theory proposed by Bandura&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> which states that a strong sense of self-efficacy increases personal well-being and that&#44; in contrast&#44; individuals that doubt their own capacities shun difficult tasks&#44; considering them to be a threat against their person&#46; In this sense&#44; renal patients are constantly faced with the perception of a lack of control over the situations they are experiencing in life&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Focusing our attention on optimism&#44; this factor predicts perceptions of increased general health&#44; including both the current state of health and perspectives for future health&#46; In addition&#44; as the correlational analysis showed&#44; optimism is associated with increased vitality scores&#46; These results concur with those from Maruta<span class="elsevierStyleSup">50</span> and suggest that optimism effectively aids in coping with the disease in a more adaptive manner&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28&#44;30</span> Optimism is associated with increased subjective well-being&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">51</span> which translates into positive effects on patient behaviour and HRQOL&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards coping strategies&#44; when strategies such as helplessness&#47;hopelessness are used&#44; we can predict decreased physical and social function&#46; In addition&#44; as the correlational analysis showed&#44; helplessness&#47;hopelessness and fatalism were negatively associated with the majority of the components in the SF-36 scale&#46; On the other hand&#44; we also observed that fighting spirit was associated with increased physical function&#44; general health&#44; vitality&#44; and mental health&#44; and decreased pain&#46; In conclusion&#44; and in agreement with previously published studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;30&#44;36</span> we can affirm that active coping strategies &#40;when the patient deliberately works to solve his&#47;her problems through action&#41; predict an increase in HRQOL&#44; whereas passive coping strategies &#40;when the patient does nothing to improve or resolve his&#47;her problems&#44; reacting with inhibition&#41; predict a decrease in HRQOL&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards social support&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that this component was associated with increased physical function&#44; such that patients with greater social support find fewer limitations in the physical activity of their everyday lives&#46; Remember that physical function was one of the dimensions of HRQOL that was most heavily deteriorated in our sample&#46; This suggests the possible usefulness of promoting physical groups activities or activities geared towards generating social support&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards anxiety&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that this factor was negatively associated with all dimensions of HRQOL&#46; Several studies have pointed out the importance of mental health in chronic kidney disease&#46; For example&#44; patients on dialysis with a better perception of their mental health adapt better to disease and treatment progression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">52</span> This suggests the relevance of implanting strategies for detecting depression&#47;anxiety disorders in these patients&#44; which would facilitate an improved HRQOL and clinical results&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The primary limitation of our study was the small sample size&#46; However&#44; our research protocol was proposed to all patients that complied with the inclusion criteria &#40;45&#41;&#44; and the majority of these accepted participation in the study &#40;39&#41;&#46; The main cause of the relatively small number of patients lies in our inclusion criteria based on age &#40;equal to or younger than 55 years&#41;&#44; which drastically reduced the potential pool of participants&#46; The objective of this criterion was to ensure optimal comprehension of the psychological tests&#44; and in this manner to achieve maximum validity of the results obtained&#46; The impact of age on HRQOL is well documented&#44; and so our results cannot be directly extrapolated to other age ranges&#46; Another limitation could lie in the fact that we had no control group&#46; Even so&#44; our primary objective was to evaluate the possibility of predicting HRQOL using a series of psychosocial variables&#44; and not to compare these variables between patients with renal disease and healthy subjects&#46; Finally&#44; we must keep in mind that our study was carried out within a multidimensional&#44; biopsychosocial perspective&#44; where health and disease are considered as the mutual interaction of several variables at many levels &#40;bio-psycho-social&#41;&#44; and can be explained through various levels of analysis&#46; Picking up on these subtle relationships and mutual influences is a very difficult task&#46; As such&#44; the direction of causality may be interactive or inverse to that presented in this study&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; the results of our study suggest that intervention in several psychosocial aspects may be useful for improving HRQOL in renal patients&#46; Firstly&#44; given the fact that depression appeared as the primary predictor of HRQOL&#44; our results demonstrate the need for evaluating &#40;and treating&#44; if necessary&#41; the emotional state of renal patients &#40;including states of anxiety or excessive worrying&#41;&#46; This would have the impact of improving HRQOL and aiding the patient in adapting to the disease&#44; thus facilitating a better prognosis and response to treatment&#46; Depression was also negatively correlated with optimism and self-efficacy&#44; variables that have been shown to correlate positively in our study with several aspects of HRQOL&#46; In this context&#44; we currently have several tools with demostrated effectiveness for simultaneously treating depression and improving optimism and self-efficay through cognitive behavioural therapy&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">53-55</span> which is known to lead to long-term improvements&#44; decreased anxiety&#44; and decreased apprehension&#46; As regards social support&#44; we might suggest implementing programmes for physical activity that are stimulated by social support networks &#40;for example&#44; involving a family member or creating patient groups for carrying out activities&#41;&#46; Finally&#44; our results also indicate an important role played by the coping mechanisms used in determining HRQOL&#46; Any intervention in this context must be directed towards reducing the use of passive coping strategies &#40;such as fatalism and helplessness&#47;hopelessness&#41; and increasing the use of active strategies&#46; In this context&#44; self-efficacy is associated with active coping strategies&#44; and so interventions in this aspect can produce improved coping profiles&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;11447&#95;16025&#95;35258&#95;en&#95;t111447&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11447_16025_35258_en_t111447.jpg" alt="Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study sample"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Table 1&#46;

However&#44; chronic kidney disease and dialytic treatments continue to produce physical&#44; psychological&#44; and social changes in patients&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> In order to evaluate the interference that renal disease and its treatments produce in the adaptive functioning of these patients&#44; health-related quality of life &#40;HRQOL&#41; was developed as a method of measurement&#46; HRQOL is an evaluation of individual health and functioning in terms of daily activities&#44; including physical&#44; psychological&#44; and social function&#44; and the patient&#8217;s general perception of health&#44; mobility&#44; and emotional well-being&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> HRQOL is becoming a fundamental component of providing integrated care for patients with chronic disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In its use in chronic kidney disease&#44; HRQOL indicators have proven to have a tight relationship with morbidity and mortality rates&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span> In addition&#44; dialysis produces several changes in patient lifestyle&#44; which if left unattended&#44; can decrease HRQOL&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;6</span> Several studies have evaluated HRQOL in renal patients on renal replacement therapy with dialysis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;7-11</span> The results from these studies have shown that deterioration in HRQOL is associated with clinical&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12-14</span> sociodemographic&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13&#44;15&#44;16</span> and dialysis characteristics variables&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> as well as cognitive deterioration<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> and emotional alterations&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18&#44;8</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In order to provide integrated care to renal patients&#44; it is essential that psychosocial variables that could affect HRQOL be identified&#44; modulating the interference that the disease produces in the patient&#8217;s capacity for adaptive functioning&#46; In our study&#44; we focused on the following components&#58; social support&#44; self-efficacy&#44; dispositional optimism&#44; depression&#44; anxiety&#44; and coping strategies&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Social support consists of obtaining resources &#40;whether material&#44; cognitive&#44; or emotional&#41; through interaction with other people or sources of support&#46; These resources reduce the perception of bodily threat and facilitate a more effective approach to coping with stressful situations&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span> In renal patients&#44; social support influences survival&#44; adherence to treatment&#44; and the intensity of symptoms of depression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18&#44;20-22</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Self-efficacy refers to the patient&#8217;s own concept of his&#47;her capacity for carrying out actions that will lead to the desired results&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> In renal patients&#44; self-efficacy is associated with self-care of the disease&#44; adherence to treatment&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10&#44;24-26</span> and decreased physical and psychological symptoms&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Dispositional optimism refers to the generalised belief or expectation that life brings positive occurrences&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span> Optimism affects health through coping mechanisms&#44; being associated with more active and effective coping<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;30</span> as well as by decreasing physical symptoms&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span> In renal patients&#44; optimism is associated with increased social support and decreased levels of depression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">31</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In light of the particular life situations experienced by renal patients &#40;loss of renal function&#44; well-being&#44; place in family and work&#44; time&#44; financial resources&#44; and sexual function&#41;&#44; and the continuing uncertainty surrounding their circumstances&#44; anxiety and depression are relatively common&#46; Depression in renal patients has been associated with immunological and nutritional dysfunction&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">32&#44;33</span> a more negative perception of disease&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9&#44;18</span> and decreased HRQOL&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> Anxiety has also been associated with decreased HRQOL&#44; primarily in the first few months of haemodialysis and in elderly patients&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Coping strategies refer to mechanisms commonly used by the individual to deal with stress and everyday issues&#46; These concrete strategies are used in different contexts and can change based on the situation experienced by the patient in each given moment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">34</span> In renal patients&#44; the coping mechanism used influences adaptation to disease and adherence to treatment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;35&#44;36</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The objective of our study was to evaluate HRQOL in renal patients on dialysis&#44;

Based on our results&#44; there appears to be a substantial impairment to HRQOL in our sample&#46; All components of HRQOL were below the reference values established by the SF-36 questionnaire&#44; the most heavily affected components being general health&#44; social function&#44; and physical function&#46; This reflects the psychological impact that this disease has in daily activity&#46; The worst HRQOL score was for the general health section&#44; which implies that patients on dialysis have a negative self-assessment of current health and the possibility of future improvements&#46; The results from our study are comparable to those from other studies that have used the SF-36 scale in patients with chronic renal failure&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">44</span> and generally corroborate the previously available evidence on the subject&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;17&#44;36</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our second objective was to identify the psychosocial variables that could be significant predictors of HRQOL&#46; The results clearly demonstrate that depression was the primary predictor for HRQOL in our sample&#44; with negative correlations with all components of the SF-36 scale and accounting for approximately 50&#37; of variance for physical function&#44; physical role&#44; vitality&#44; social function&#44; and mental health&#46; According to our results&#44; depression produced a highly significant impediment in daily activities&#44; producing lower productivity than desired&#44; increased interference of bodily pain in normal tasks&#44; a more negative appraisal of current health and future prospects&#44; a heightened perception of fatigue and weariness&#44; decreased social life&#44; and greater emotional problems that interfere with daily activities and decrease the mental health of the patient&#46; These results are similar to those presented by other authors&#44; who showed that depression negatively affects the quality of life of renal patients&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;45&#44;46</span> their nutritional state at the start of dialysis&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">47</span> and the level of physical and mental deterioration in general&#44; along with morbidity and mortality rates&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">48&#44;49</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our results also indicated that the degree of concern professed by the patient is negatively correlated with the majority of the components of the HRQOL&#46; This finding corroborates the results from previous studies that showed that&#44; when renal patients are worried about situations regarding their disease&#44; HRQOL diminishes&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10&#44;24&#44;26</span> On the other hand&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that the level of self-efficacy is positively associated with increased physical function&#44; general health&#44; social function&#44; and emotional role&#46; These results also reflect those from previous studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span> where the level of self-efficacy was found to be associated with increased adherence to treatment and behaviours that promote health&#44; and decreased physical and psychological symptoms experienced by renal patients&#46; All of these results support the theory proposed by Bandura&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> which states that a strong sense of self-efficacy increases personal well-being and that&#44; in contrast&#44; individuals that doubt their own capacities shun difficult tasks&#44; considering them to be a threat against their person&#46; In this sense&#44; renal patients are constantly faced with the perception of a lack of control over the situations they are experiencing in life&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Focusing our attention on optimism&#44; this factor predicts perceptions of increased general health&#44; including both the current state of health and perspectives for future health&#46; In addition&#44; as the correlational analysis showed&#44; optimism is associated with increased vitality scores&#46; These results concur with those from Maruta<span class="elsevierStyleSup">50</span> and suggest that optimism effectively aids in coping with the disease in a more adaptive manner&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28&#44;30</span> Optimism is associated with increased subjective well-being&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">51</span> which translates into positive effects on patient behaviour and HRQOL&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards coping strategies&#44; when strategies such as helplessness&#47;hopelessness are used&#44; we can predict decreased physical and social function&#46; In addition&#44; as the correlational analysis showed&#44; helplessness&#47;hopelessness and fatalism were negatively associated with the majority of the components in the SF-36 scale&#46; On the other hand&#44; we also observed that fighting spirit was associated with increased physical function&#44; general health&#44; vitality&#44; and mental health&#44; and decreased pain&#46; In conclusion&#44; and in agreement with previously published studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;30&#44;36</span> we can affirm that active coping strategies &#40;when the patient deliberately works to solve his&#47;her problems through action&#41; predict an increase in HRQOL&#44; whereas passive coping strategies &#40;when the patient does nothing to improve or resolve his&#47;her problems&#44; reacting with inhibition&#41; predict a decrease in HRQOL&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards social support&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that this component was associated with increased physical function&#44; such that patients with greater social support find fewer limitations in the physical activity of their everyday lives&#46; Remember that physical function was one of the dimensions of HRQOL that was most heavily deteriorated in our sample&#46; This suggests the possible usefulness of promoting physical groups activities or activities geared towards generating social support&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards anxiety&#44; the correlational analysis demonstrated that this factor was negatively associated with all dimensions of HRQOL&#46; Several studies have pointed out the importance of mental health in chronic kidney disease&#46; For example&#44; patients on dialysis with a better perception of their mental health adapt better to disease and treatment progression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">52</span> This suggests the relevance of implanting strategies for detecting depression&#47;anxiety disorders in these patients&#44; which would facilitate an improved HRQOL and clinical results&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The primary limitation of our study was the small sample size&#46; However&#44; our research protocol was proposed to all patients that complied with the inclusion criteria &#40;45&#41;&#44; and the majority of these accepted participation in the study &#40;39&#41;&#46; The main cause of the relatively small number of patients lies in our inclusion criteria based on age &#40;equal to or younger than 55 years&#41;&#44; which drastically reduced the potential pool of participants&#46; The objective of this criterion was to ensure optimal comprehension of the psychological tests&#44; and in this manner to achieve maximum validity of the results obtained&#46; The impact of age on HRQOL is well documented&#44; and so our results cannot be directly extrapolated to other age ranges&#46; Another limitation could lie in the fact that we had no control group&#46; Even so&#44; our primary objective was to evaluate the possibility of predicting HRQOL using a series of psychosocial variables&#44; and not to compare these variables between patients with renal disease and healthy subjects&#46; Finally&#44; we must keep in mind that our study was carried out within a multidimensional&#44; biopsychosocial perspective&#44; where health and disease are considered as the mutual interaction of several variables at many levels &#40;bio-psycho-social&#41;&#44; and can be explained through various levels of analysis&#46; Picking up on these subtle relationships and mutual influences is a very difficult task&#46; As such&#44; the direction of causality may be interactive or inverse to that presented in this study&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; the results of our study suggest that intervention in several psychosocial aspects may be useful for improving HRQOL in renal patients&#46; Firstly&#44; given the fact that depression appeared as the primary predictor of HRQOL&#44; our results demonstrate the need for evaluating &#40;and treating&#44; if necessary&#41; the emotional state of renal patients &#40;including states of anxiety or excessive worrying&#41;&#46; This would have the impact of improving HRQOL and aiding the patient in adapting to the disease&#44; thus facilitating a better prognosis and response to treatment&#46; Depression was also negatively correlated with optimism and self-efficacy&#44; variables that have been shown to correlate positively in our study with several aspects of HRQOL&#46; In this context&#44; we currently have several tools with demostrated effectiveness for simultaneously treating depression and improving optimism and self-efficay through cognitive behavioural therapy&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">53-55</span> which is known to lead to long-term improvements&#44; decreased anxiety&#44; and decreased apprehension&#46; As regards social support&#44; we might suggest implementing programmes for physical activity that are stimulated by social support networks &#40;for example&#44; involving a family member or creating patient groups for carrying out activities&#41;&#46; Finally&#44; our results also indicate an important role played by the coping mechanisms used in determining HRQOL&#46; Any intervention in this context must be directed towards reducing the use of passive coping strategies &#40;such as fatalism and helplessness&#47;hopelessness&#41; and increasing the use of active strategies&#46; In this context&#44; self-efficacy is associated with active coping strategies&#44; and so interventions in this aspect can produce improved coping profiles&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;11447&#95;16025&#95;35258&#95;en&#95;t111447&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11447_16025_35258_en_t111447.jpg" alt="Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study sample"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Table 1&#46;
