The results showed that personal and community resources protect against disability and physical deterioration among individuals receiving hemodialysis. Further, these resources had a direct influence on HRQOL, especially in relation to the burden of the disease and for those who are not in paid employment. Our findings show the importance of the availability and use of measures required for the community to improve HRQOL, and to protect the physical health of people undergoing hemodialysis.application/pdfAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 2.5 Colombiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/co/Health-related quality of lifeChronic illnessEnd-stage renal diseaseHemodialysisPersonal resourcesCommunity resourceshttps://doi.org/10.2224/sbp.2015.43.3.367Generación de Nuevo Conocimiento: Artículos publicados en revistas especializadas - Electrónicos
