Hemodialysis has an impact on the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic renal failure. The longer patients with chronic renal failure receive hemodialysis therapy, the better their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between the length of time patients spent on hemodialysis and their quality of life at Dr. H. Jusuf SK. The quantitative research method employed was a cross-sectional correlation approach. A total of 125 patients were included in the study. The WHOQOL questionnaire was used as the measurement tool in this study, and total sampling was used as the sampling technique. The independent variable in this study was the length of time spent on hemodialysis, and the dependent variable was the quality of life of chronic renal failure patients. The Pearson chi- square test was used as a statistical test. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents had a high quality of life. The majority of patients with chronic renal failure at dr. H. Jusuf SK underwent hemodialysis for less than 12 months, and the majority of them had a decent quality of life. There was a strong relationship between the duration of hemodialysis and the quality of life of chronic renal failure patients. It is intended that the patient will feel motivated to perform hemodialysis therapy on a regular basis, improving their quality of life even further.
