Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by the kidneys' inability to maintain the body's internal homeostasis, resulting in the accumulation of metabolic waste products and fluid and electrolyte imbalances. According to the Bangka Belitung Islands Provincial Health Office, 5,534 cases of CKD were reported between 2021 and 2023, with 855 patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors associated with self-care among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Bakti Timah Hospital, Pangkalpinang, in 2025. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 159 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Bakti Timah Hospital, Pangkalpinang, in 2025. Data were analyzed to determine the associations between knowledge, family support, gender, and self-care. Results: Knowledge (p < 0.001), family support (p = 0.010), and gender (p = 0.010) were significantly associated with self-care among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Conclusion: Knowledge, family support, and gender were significantly associated with self-care among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Improving patients' knowledge and strengthening family support may enhance self-care practices and contribute to better treatment adherence and health outcomes.

The population size in this study was 318 people and a sample of 83 people, the calculation used simple random sampling. The research time was from 16 to June 2025 Result: The results of the study obtained a p-value of the knowledge variable 0.000 <0.05, diet 0.000 <0.05 and physical activity 0.000 <0.05. This shows that there is a significant relationship between medical history, diet and family support on the incidence of ischemic stroke in the elderly at Bakti Timah Hospital Pangkalpinang in 2025 Conclusion: Suggestions in this study are expected to be used as evaluation material that it is important to maintain a healthy diet, support and encouragement of motivation from the family so that the elderly are enthusiastic and motivated in dealing with their illness.
