Objectives: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a non-communicable disease affecting millions worldwide. It imposes significant physical, economic, psychological, and social burdens on patients and their healthcare providers. This study aimed to determine the levels of psychological well-being and social support among individuals undergoing hemodialysis, and to investigate the correlation between these two variables.
Method: A descriptive correlational study design was employed at the Al-Amal Dialysis Centre in Kirkuk City, Iraq, from November 20, 2024, to May 30, 2025. A non-probability purposive sample of 260 CKD was recruited. Data were collected using a questionnaire comprising sociodemographic characteristics, the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and the Social Support Scale for Healthcare Providers.
Results: The majority of participants were male (56.2%), aged 60-69 years (32.4%), had low educational attainment (27.3%), and reported barely sufficient economic status (49.2%). Most patients demonstrated moderate levels of perceived social support (63%) and psychological well-being. Significant relationships were observed between educational level, marital status, and perceived social support. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between overall psychological well-being and social support (r = 0.270, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: This study found that most chronic hemodialysis patients experienced moderate levels of perceived social support and psychological well-being. Significant associations were identified between educational level, marital status, and social support. Importantly, higher levels of social support were significantly associated with better psychological well-being in CKD.
