Core Tip	Dysphoria and despondency are prevalent negative emotional experiences in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), significantly affecting both prognosis and overall quality of life (QOL). Enhancing social support can improve the QOL of patients undergoing MHD. This study surveyed 289 patients undergoing MHD using questionnaires to examine the mediating role of social support in the relationship between dysphoria, despondency, and QOL. The findings contribute to the development of a theoretical foundation for psychological interventions in patients undergoing MHD, ultimately aiming to effectively alleviate dysphoria and despondency and subsequently enhance their overall QOL.
