| Popis: | Introduction Kidney transplantation (KT) increases the quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic kidney disease. Employment is one the objective indicators of KT success. The aim of the presented study was to assess the psychological predispositions of KT and hemodialysis (HD) patients, such as stress coping styles, chosen personality features, and their relationship with employment and QoL. Material and Methods One hundred and sixty-one persons were examined, 101 after KT, and 60 HD patients. The following methods were applied: NEO-FFI Personality Inventory; Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS); WHOQoL-BREF; and general survey, measuring sociodemographic data and work experience. Results In the KT group, 58 persons were employed and 43 were unemployed. HD patients were mostly unemployed, with only 15 persons working. Significant differences were identified between the results of the following variables: WHOQoL environmental scale (employed m = 16.8, standard deviation [SD] = 3; unemployed m = 15, SD = 2.8); extraversion (employed m = 6.7, SD = 2; unemployed m = 5.6, SD = 2); somatic WHOQoL scale (HD m = 12.2, SD = 2.7; KT m = 14.2, SD = 3.5). In the KT group, the following correlations were identified: extraversion with contact seeking strategy (r = 0.553), agreeableness (r = 0.245), and conscientiousness (r = 0.384); agreeableness with conscientiousness (r = 0.336). In the HD group, the following correlations were identified: task-oriented style with conscientiousness (r = 0.474); avoidance-oriented style with conscientiousness (r = -0.466); contact seeking with extraversion (r = 0.402) and agreeableness (r = 0.469). Conclusions The following conclusions were reached: Social competence, such as seeking and maintaining contacts, positively translates to features connected with occupational activity. Social skills strengthen the organization of healthier environment and increase QoL. Employed patients have higher social skills and QoL. |
