Abstract

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), emotional problems may occur that affect the patient's adherence to treatment and their quality of life. Knowing the emotional characteristics of patients allows the psychotherapeutic intervention to be personalized.

Objective: Identify the emotional profiles of patients with CKD for the variables:  psychological well-being, positivity, depression and trait anger.

Method: A quantitative approach was used with a cross-sectional, non-experimental design. In a non-probabilistic way, 25 adult Cuban patients (13 male and 12 female) with a diagnosis of CKD, undergoing dialysis treatment in a public hospital were selected.

Results: Two subgroups were identified, the first called emotionally strong, was made of 15 patients who had greater psychological well-being and positivity with less depression and trait anger; the second, called emotionally vulnerable, made up of 10 patients, characterized by having lower psychological well-being and positivity with greater depression and trait anger.

Conclusion: It was confirmed that there were significant differences in the emotional states of patients with CKD, a considerable group of them requiring psychological support
