Despite the high prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients receiving chronic dialysis, there has been inadequate attention to patient-related barriers to management of depressive symptoms, such as factors identified by these patients as contributing to their symptoms, and how they responded to the symptoms. Participants (N=210) in an ongoing longitudinal observational study of multidimensional quality of life in patients receiving chronic dialysis completed a battery of measures monthly for 12 months. For each patient at each measurement point an Event Report was generated if he/she scored outside of the normal range on the depressive symptom scale (CESD-SF ≥ 10) or expressed suicidal ideation. Of the 210 participants, 100 (47.6%) had a CESD-SF score ≥ 10 at least once resulting in 290 Event Reports. Of these 100 participants, 15 (15%) had also reported suicidal ideation in addition to having depressive symptoms. The most frequently stated contributing factors included ‘managing comorbid conditions and complications’ (56 Event Reports, 19.3%), ‘being on dialysis’ (50, 17.2%), ‘family or other personal issues’ (37, 12.8%), and ‘financial difficulties’ (31, 10.7%). On 11 Event Reports (3.8%) participants had been unaware of their depressive symptoms. On 119 Event Reports (41%) participants reported that they discussed these symptoms with their dialysis care providers or primary care providers, while on 171 Event Reports (59%) symptoms were not discussed with their healthcare providers. The prevalence of depressive symptoms is high and many patients lack knowledge about effective self-management strategies.
