Resumen
Chronic kidney disease has increased dramatically in recent decades, and so have
hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatments, in addition to kidney transplants. These
treatments are usually invasive, generating emotions of frustration, anguish and sadness in
patients, which strongly affects their mood, generating levels of anxiety and depression
according to several studies. The general objective of this work is to determine the relationship
between levels of anxiety and depression in patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Reynadial
Clinic and, as specific objectives, to identify levels of anxiety and depression in patients
undergoing hemodialysis and to describe the levels of anxiety and depression according to
variables of age, sex and time of treatment. This research has a quantitative approach, the type
of design is non-experimental, cross-sectional and a correlational scope. The participants will
be patients from the Reynadial clinic of the Guayaquil canton, who are undergoing
hemodialysis treatment. It will work with a population of 84 patients. As research instruments,
the Anxiety Inventory and the Depression Inventory, both from Beck, were applied. The
correlation between anxiety and depression was verified in patients with chronic kidney disease;
higher prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients between 60 and 69 years old; the male
population presented higher levels of anxiety while women had higher levels of depression, in
addition, who had had more than a year of treatment, were those who presented higher levels
