Hierarchical multiple regression investigating factors associated with depressive symptoms in the middle-aged and elderly undergoing haemodialysis.

Background: Depressive moods are commonly seen in patients who receive haemodialysis. This can cause a lack of compliance in their treatment procedures and increase the rate of hospitalization. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support and degree of depression in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing haemodialysis and the predictors of depressive symptoms.
