Abstract: The main objective of this research was to determine the quality of life in male patients between 45 and 60 years old who have chronic renal failure and who are receiving peritoneal dialysis treatment. The study was carried out at the Dr. Roberto Nettel Flores ISSSTE Hospital Clinic, Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. It was developed under a methodology with a qualitative approach, exploratory scope, and positivist design. The development of the theoretical perspective was based on nursing theories and models. Among the main findings is the fact that patients perceive themselves as vulnerable; but also lack of knowledge of both the condition they present and the care they should take when treated with peritoneal dialysis.
Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease, Peritoneal Dialysis, Quality of Life.
