Influence of Selected Biomarkers on Stress and Alexithymia in Patients under Hemodialysis Treatment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background: Chronic renal failure causes a number of physical problems in patients. Hemodialysis treatment and the stress brought along by the treatment are high and this circumstance sets the ground for alexithymia. Alexithymic feelings basically emerge as restriction in the world of emotion and thought, and inability to recognize physiological changes. Biomarkers that are indicators of physical change are influential in the stress lives of individuals. They lead to negative changes in the physical and mental lives of patients who have chronic kidney failure and individuals who receive hemodialysis treatment. This research was carried out as a relationship seeker in order to determine the influence of urea, creatinin, sodium, potassium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, albumin, calcium, phosphorus and C-reactive protein biomarkers on stress and alexithymia in individuals, who are diagnosed with chronic renal failure and receive hemodialysis treatment. Methods: The research environment was formed of patients who underwent hemodialysis treatment in a hospital in Turkey. The subject group was completed of 72 individuals. Demographic data form, biochemical data form, Hemodialysis Stressor Scale and Toronto Alexithymia Scale were used in the research. Results: It was found that the levels of perceived stress of individuals who participated in the research were high at all dimensions, and 59.7% were alexithymic. The means of the total scale scores of all patients were calculated as 87.81±13.59 for HSS and 62.46±9.84 for TAS. The relationship between TAS-20 and HSS and selected biomarkers were determined (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that stress and alexithymic feelings were high in patients who received hemodialysis treatment. It was concluded that there is a relationship between C-reactive protein, creatinin, sodium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, potassium from the biomarkers and the scales and scale sub-dimensions. It is necessary to increase the awareness of nurses on the importance of the skills to communicate with individuals who have to cope with stress, manage emotions, and have high stress and emotional deprivation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
