Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a life-changing condition affecting 10% of the global population, leading to significant health challenges in a person’s daily life. It is considered a worldwide health crisis due to its increasing prevalence in the general population and the development of complicated clinical symptoms if left untreated. Hemodialysis is a treatment procedure that helps substitute renal function, which is vital for the individual's health. Most health-related scientific literature focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease, advancing hemodialysis treatment, and minimizing adverse side effects. Meanwhile, another scientific direction aims to evaluate the functioning and quality of life of these individuals, who can, in some cases, become extremely debilitated. People with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis often experience a significant disruption in their ability and efficiency to perform meaningful tasks and established routines independently. Occupational therapy can help empower individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, enabling life participation while minimizing the burden and health-related consequences of the disease.
