Kidney failure is caused by decreased kidney function so that it cannot filter out the body's electrolytedischarge. The aim of the study was to find out whether there was a relationship between the frequency ofhemodialysis and the level of stress in patients with chronic kidney failure who underwent hemodialysis atRoyal Prima Medan Hospital in 2019. The research design used by the researcher was a cros sectionalmethod in which the dependent and independent variables were examined simultaneously. The resultsshowed that there was a significant relationship between the frequency of hemodialysis to stress levels inpatients with chronic renal failure, almost all respondents often underwent hemodialysis at Royal PrimaHospital in Medan, out of a total of 70 respondents, almost all respondents had moderate stress levels andthere was a significant relationship between HD frequency with stress levels in CRF patients in theHemodialysis installation with a p value of 0.002 <0.05. The results of this study are expected to be able toadd insight and knowledge about CRF, and are expected to continue this research in deeper contexts andbroader variables.
