520 |a The purpose of this study was to determine whether sociocultural differences have any effect on the health-related quality of life among African American hemodialysis patients. This study examined relationships between religiosity, social support, and the health-related quality of life of African American hemodialysis patients. Four hemodialysis units were selected for the study. The study population consisted of 176 African American hemodialysis patients who had been receiving hemodialysis treatments for at least 1 month. The religiosity variable was measured by the Measure of Religious Involvement. Social Support was measured by the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey, and health-related quality of life was measured by the Medical Outcomes Study 36 Short Form Health Survey (SF-36v2). The investigators found that social support contributed to the emotional and physical health of African American hemodialysis patients in the sample, whereas religiosity was inversely related to the physical health of these patients.
