| [ Summary ] | The QOL for hemodialysis patients has been improving because of the progress being made in hemodialysis therapy. However, we have overlooked the facts that we must provide protection of privacy and offer comfortable facilities for the patients, due to these factors having priority over efficiency in hemodialysis treatment. Most patients desire facilities which are comfortable, functional and where the staff is kind to them (especially those having cerebro-vascular disorders, ROD etc.). Thus, it is strongly advisable to provide hemodialysis patients with services which include an excellent environment, including facilities in and around the hemodialysis room. | |
