Prolonged hemodialysis duration and female sex were strongly associated with increased caregiver strain, with 54% of caregivers experiencing moderate to severe burden.
A significant majority of hemodialysis patients experience moderate to severe pain that is often undertreated, highlighting the need for routine pain assessment and management protocols in nephrology care.

the Statistical analysis results indicate that prolonged duration of dialysis is strongly associated with higher caregiver burden.Female caregivers reported greater levels of burden compared to males.These results are consistent with previous studies by Chhetri et al. and Abbasi et al., which highlighted increased stress among female caregivers and those involved in long-term care.The moderate-to-severe burden observed in nearly half of caregivers emphasizes the need for interventions such as counseling, peer support groups, and institutional assistance to mitigate caregiver stress.CONCLUSION In this study, 54% of caregivers experienced moderate to severe burden.Longer duration of dialysis was directly associated with increased caregiver strain.Targeted psychosocial and financial support strategies should be incorporated into chronic kidney disease programs to enhance caregiver well-being.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
