        abstract = {A study to assess the psychological problem among CKD patients under hemodialysis at selected hospital of Bihar.
Background and Objectives: People with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis often experience significant psychological distress. This is due to the long-term nature of the treatment, the lifestyle changes it requires, and the financial strain it causes.  These factors can affect both emotional well-being and how well someone follows their treatment plan.  Understanding how psychological problems are distributed, and their connection to demographic and clinical factors, is essential for developing effective patient support and intervention strategies.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted out on 80 CKD patients undergoing haemodialysis at selected hospital of Bihar. The DASS scale was used to evaluate psychological issues, classifying patients into Normal, Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Extremely Severe levels of psychological distress. Structured interviews were used to gather sociodemographic information.
Results: There was a wide range of psychological distress. Significant correlations were found with age, income, and length of dialysis; younger, low-income, and long-term dialysis patients were more impacted, whereas gender and education were not significant.
Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, those receiving hemodialysis frequently experience psychological distress, which is significantly impacted by their age, income, and length of treatment and requires targeted support.},
