Key Points

The study aims to explore how body awareness influences quality of life, anxiety, and pain in hemodialysis patients.
Included 21 clinically stable hemodialysis patients (mean age 66.0 years; 85.7% male).
Assessed body awareness, quality of life, anxiety, and pain using standard questionnaires.
Analyzed correlations among body awareness, quality of life, anxiety levels, and pain.
Higher body awareness scores significantly related to better quality of life: energy (r=-0.443, p=0.044), pain (r=-0.452, p=0.040), emotional reactions (r=-0.506, p=0.019), and sleep (r=-0.487, p=0.025).
Body awareness negatively correlated with anxiety levels (r=-0.581, p=0.006).
Strong correlation between body awareness and musculoskeletal pain/disability (r=-0.821, p<0.001).
