No. Desember 2021 INTRODUCTION Hemodialysis is a burdensome and complex therapy that requires a lot of support from the family (Gilbertson. Moreover, the families assist patients at various stages of the psychological, and mental care that is not limited to advanced stages. (Rabiei. The majority of families experience independence in the care of hemodialysis patients due to a lack of knowledge and skills (Rabiei, 2. After being hospitalized, the majority of people with chronic kidney disease will return home to live with their families (Ulfiana. Has, & Rachmawati, 2. Due to some decreased body functions experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy, which can cause clients to feel unable and helpless due to their physical limitations to carry out daily activities, patients will rely on their families to undergo treatment therapy and fulfill their daily needs (Nugroho & Sabarini. If this is problems not handled properly, they will have an impact on the worsening of the condition of the patient and family (Jafari, 2. The existence of the family can provide a very meaningful motivation to the patient when the patient has various problems of changing life patterns that are complicated and boring with all their health programs (Trihandayani. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease increasing year by year in the global and Indonesian. According to the Global Burden of Disease . reported that CKD was responsible for 956. 200 deaths worldwide, this number represents an increase of about 134% from 1990 (Naghavi M. Wang H. Lozano R. Furthermore. Indonesia has a DOI: 10. 32528/ijhs. high number of CKD patients based on the report from the Indonesian Nephrology Association (PERNEFRI) estimates that there are 70. 000 CKD patients in Indonesia. This number will continue to increase by 10% per year (PERNEFRI, 2. Moreover, data from research and development agency (Riskesda. in 2018 showed that the prevalence of CKD in Indonesia is 38% of total diagnoses and the proportion of hemodialysis is 19. of diagnoses (Riskesdas, 2. Science being diagnosed with CKD the patients and their families have experienced progressive changes in their life, including physical, mental, emotional, and financial difficulties (Maddalena. OAoShea and Barrett. The hemodialysis process also causes psychological and physical stress that interferes with the neurological system, resulting in symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, anxiety, decreased concentration, disorientation, tremors, pain in the soles of the feet, and behavioral changes (Suprihatiningsih. Al-Irsyad. Cilacap, & Korespondensi, 2. Furthermore, patients with chronic hemodialysis have an impact on their ability to fulfill daily activities . ctivity daily livin. such as eating and drinking, bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobilization (Deddy & Maria. The high burden of illness experienced by patients physically and psychologically as well as the high burden of care experienced by the family causes the importance of a palliative nursing model based on family centered nursing. The palliative nursing model can be applied starting from early palliative care from the time the diagnosis is made to the end of life. The provisions of palliative care can be The Indonesian Journal of Health Science Volume 13. No. Desember 2021 applied to patients with serious illness at any age and at any stage of the disease and are not specifically provided for patients who have decided to discontinue therapy (Grubbs, 2. The palliative nursing model based on family centered nursing includes intervention/implementation. The assessment consisted of family factors, patient factors, social support factors and health service The diagnosis that emerges is the ability to care for family health at home by carrying out five family health tasks (Friedman, 2. The intervention provided is palliative nursing by the family which consists of primary and special palliative care. Palliative care by the family consists of patient care, assessment of bio-psychosocio-spiritual aspects, management of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual symptoms, advance care planning and end of life preparation. The final purpose or evaluation is to achieve family independence in caring for chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis. Palliative care is required as comprehensive care that is integrated with kidney care from diagnosis to death and grief. CKD patients' needs not only physical symptom treatment, but also support for psychological, social, and spiritual needs, which are met through an interdisciplinary approach known as palliative care (Dhina Widayati & Nove Lestari, 2. According to World Health Organization (WHO, 2. defines palliative care is an approach that is given to improve the quality of life of patients and their families who are experiencing lifethreatening management, and the cessation of suffering and problems related to DOI: 10. 32528/ijhs. physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. The palliative nursing model can be applied from the time a diagnosis is made until the patient's Early integration of palliative care into standard nephrology care can help patients with advanced CKD and their families make more informed decisions, plan follow-up care, and provide end-of-life care (Eneanya. Paasche-Orlow & Volandes, 2. Family support is an important part of palliative care for hemodialysis patients(L Axelsson, 2. Palliative care is intended for both patients and Family-Centered Nursing is one of the concepts of family empowerment that is following the theories and concepts of palliative nursing that can be applied to families. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The population consisted of families and patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at RSUD Ibnu Sina Gresik. A total of 120 families and patients were sampled using the consecutive sampling technique, with the inclusion criteria were a family member who is a caregiver for chronic hemodialysis, living in the same house with chronic kidney disease patient on hemodialysis, families of patients with chronic kidney disease who have undergone hemodialysis for 3 years, domiciled in Lamongan and Gresik Regencies, carer age 36 - 65 years old, communicate well and don't have mental illness. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was also tabulated and analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test (Nursalam, 2. The Indonesian Journal of Health Science Volume 13. No. Desember 2021 Social information included sex, age, educational level, personal monthly income, relation with patients, persons who provide care, the length of care, and duration of hemodialysis were asked using the demographic and health information questionnaire. Moreover, the palliative care based on Family-Centered Nursing skills and patientAos dependency level were asked using the palliative care based on Family-Centered Nursing questionnaire developed by the This measurement of patient care was carried out by providing a modified self-care of CKD index questionnaire, consist of helping medications, kidney diet. HD routines This questionnaire uses a Likert scale, namely 1 = never, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often and 4 always or every day. Then the measurement results are categorized into 3 categories, namely 1: low, 2: moderate, 3: high. The Palliative care based on Family-Centered Nursing questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability (CronbachAos a = 0. the Palliative care based on FamilyCentered Nursing consisted of 47 questions divided into 8 subscales. Moreover, the level of family independence is seen from the seven ability criteria that have been achieved by the family based on the Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2006. The dependency of the patients was measure using the index Barthel modification questionnaire that cover the patient's level of dependence to carry out daily activities/ADL which includes helping with eating, bathing, mobility/exercise. The DOI: 10. 32528/ijhs. Barthel index consists of 10 activity functions, namely controlling bowel oneself, using the toilet, eating and drinking, moving, walking, dressing, going up and down stairs and bathing. Each function is scored . according to the patient's ability then the sum of the scores is categorized into 5 categories, namely 1: independent . , 2: mild dependence . cores 12-. , 3: moderate dependence . cores 9- . , 4: heavy dependence . and 5: total dependence . The study protocol was approved by the health research ethics committee faculty of nursing at Airlangga University.

Family-centered nursing-based palliative care carried out by the family is an important element in the wellbeing of patients and can protect and support patients in carrying out their daily activities (Mitchell. Chaboyer. Burmeister, & Foster, 2. The goal of applying family-centered nursing theory is to make the family selfsufficient in maintaining the health of their family members. The research conducted by (Alkhudairi, 2. reported that a person with a high education has good knowledge and family-centered nursing-based therefore, the families who have good knowledge of care will be able to recognize and understand the problems that exist in patients. The results showed that most patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis had a dependency level with a mild category in addition the mild category of the dependency of the patients were describe as patients that can be independent or almost do not need help with the criteria were: patients be able to go up and down the bed, able to ambulate and walk alone, able to eat The Indonesian Journal of Health Science Volume 13.

The dependency of the patients was measure using the index Barthel modification questionnaire that cover the patient's level of dependence to carry out daily activities/ADL which includes helping with eating, bathing, mobility/exercise. Families patients at various stages of the psychological, and mental care that is not limited to advanced stages. (Rabiei. As treatment partners, family members are frequently involved in the treatment of chronic kidney disease As care partners, family members are involved in a variety of medication administration, medication adherence, assisting with day-to-day activities, scheduling and providing transportation to medical monitoring patient health, advocating for patients, and providing emotional support (Hoang. Green & Bonner, 2. Caring for hemodialysis patients will face several challenges and hospitalizations and the administration of various drugs to patients (Rabiei. Complications in hemodialysis patients include non-compliance with dialysis patients, which includes four aspects: non-compliance with the hemodialysis program, medication program, fluid restriction, and diet program (Efe & Kocayz, 2015. Widiantara, 2. Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis show a high level of DOI: 10. 32528/ijhs. complications of the disease and also the cumulative side effects of dialysis itself (Jassal, 2. The need for care and dependency on caregivers is increasing, but their ability to provide care for tasks is negatively affected (Alnazly, 2. The research conducted by (Amaliyah. Karlina, & Andhini, 2. shows that one of the factors that affect activity daily living, was the length of time on hemodialysis, the longer the patient undergoes hemodialysis, the greater the patient's dependence on the family due to functional disorders that will naturally arise and impede daily The majority of patients with chronic kidney disease had HD for 3-4 years, and a small percentage of patients with chronic kidney disease had HD for more than 5 years.

Renal palliative care specifically addresses the stress and burden of advanced kidney disease by providing symptom management, caregiver support, and The Indonesian Journal of Health Science Volume 13. No. Desember 2021 advanced care planning to optimize patients' and families' quality of life. To address the multidimensional impact of advanced kidney disease on patients, palliative care must be When compared to other serious chronic illnesses, patients with advanced kidney disease have higher rates of care and a worse end-of-life Currently, renal palliative care is scarce (Daniel Y. Lam, 2. Many kidney disease patients have an unmet need for palliative care, which includes both physical and emotional symptoms (Bansal, 2. Family members generally do not understand the concept of palliative care. They generally do not consider dialysis patients to be terminally ill or to be receiving dialysis as a palliative treatment (Maddalena et al. , 2. The majority of patients who receive home palliative care die at The two most commonly reported symptoms were pain and dyspnea, and while home palliative care appeared to improve pain control over time, it only had a positive effect on dyspnea in one study (Nordly. Families play an important role in providing care to people whose health is deteriorating. When caring for a patient whose condition is deteriorating and who is becoming more dependent and in need of care, the caregiver must perform more complex care tasks. As a result, caregivers play a critical role in the care of people with illnesses or disabilities throughout the disease To address this issue, family-centered proposed, which would meet the needs of not only patients but also their family members (Kokorelias, 2. DOI: 10. 32528/ijhs. The role of the family in the care of patients is associated with improved behavior and self-management care and adherence to therapy, improved quality of life, lower risk of mortality, symptoms, and lower chances of For health care providers, the role of the family is a very valuable partner in the task of caring for patients with chronic kidney disease (DePasquale, 2. The research conducted by (Prawita, 2. showed that Physical factors such as complaints or physical symptoms that interfere with physical activity, social factors, cultural factors, spiritual factors, and psychological factors all influence palliative care As a result, there is a high need for palliative care to support the quality of life of chronic kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis, at least one of whom can perform daily activities independently. Patients who have been on hemodialysis for a long time have poor ADL abilities, therefore, they require a lot of support and palliative care from their families to ensure that their basic needs are met. Furthermore, families who can provide palliative care based on family-centered nursing are quite beneficial to patients due to the level of patientsAo dependency decreases, and patients can carry out daily activities independently without relying on CONCLUSION Families of chronic kidney hemodialysis can provide palliative care based on family-centered nursing, which is mostly sufficient. Moreover, patients undergoing hemodialysis have a mild level of dependency. At Ibnu Sina Hospital Gresik, there was a The Indonesian Journal of Health Science Volume 13. No. Desember 2021 relation between palliative care based on family-centered nursing and the level of dependency of chronic kidney RECOMMENDATION Health workers are expected to be able to provide knowledge, special skills, education, and guidance on palliative care based on familycentered nursing to patients and their families thus the families and patients can apply it in their daily lives.
