RT Journal Article T1 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS A1 Cuesta-Vargas, A. I. A1 Vertedor Corpas, C. K1 Physical exercise K1 hemodialysis K1 depression K1 anxiety K1 physical activity K1 kidney disease (renal failure) K1 Capacity K1 Moderate AB Purpose: In this analytical cross-sectional study we analyze the relationship that may exist between the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients who take regular exercise and those who do not, in order to identify which physical activity is a protective factor at the time of depression or anxiety disorders. Methods: The method involved applying Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) to 50 patients in the hemodialysis center who met certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The patients who exercise have a lower prevalence of depression and anxiety (p=0,015, r=-0,341 and p=0,047, r=-0,283) respectively. Having reviewed the published literature, we believe that this is the first study performed to demonstrate the existence of such a relationship.
