| Abstract |
This study explored the prevalence of depression among the patients with chronic kidney disease and their caregivers and its association to their demographic profile. A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study that used the Hamilton rating scale tool to assess the prevalence of depression among 226 patients undergoing hemodialysis and 105 of their caregivers in a hospital in Saudi Arabia. Patients with chronic renal disease and their caregivers experience depression at varying levels. Depression was positively associated with the socioeconomic and marital status of the patients. Socioeconomic status of the caregivers was seen to be associated with their depression. Depression is highly prevalent among patients with chronic renal disease and their caregivers. |

This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 August 2022.
All research outputs
#7,532,940
of 22,985,065 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease
#76
of 239 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,783
of 314,066 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease
#4
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,985,065 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 239 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 314,066 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
