| Core Tip |
Because of the high mortality rate of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), some patients might not achieve their expected survival times even if they receive hemodialysis. Similar to patients with advanced cancer, those with ESRD also exhibit preoperatory grief. The preparatory grief in advanced cancer patients (PGAC) scale is the most widely used preparatory grief scale for patients in China, and it can be used to measure a range of preparatory grief responses in patients with advanced cancer or terminally ill patients. However, the use of this scale to assess patients on hemodialysis has not been reported. Therefore, this study evaluated the reliability and validity of the PGAC scale in patients on hemodialysis the aim of providing a standardized measurement tool for assessing preparatory grief for this population. |
