Situations like this interfere with the patient's quality of life and psychological disorders such as anxiety. With the emergence of feelings of anxiety and decreased quality of life, the condition of the disease experienced will worsen. One effort that can be made to manage feelings of anxiety and maintain quality of life is by exercising self-efficacy. The aim of this research activity is to see whether there is a relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life and anxiety in patients suffering from chronic kidney failure who are being treated at Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital.
