摘要：The aim of this study was to asse ss personality factors, self - efficacy and depression in chronic renal patients awaiting kidney transplant. Patients ( n = 65) were adults under hemodialysis treatment and on the kidney transplant list with average age of 49.11 years. Pearson correlation ana lysis showed positive associations between the factors Surgency ( r = - .353, p <.01) Conscientiousness ( r =.415, p <.01) and self - efficacy; Neuroticism had negative correlation with self - efficacy ( r = - .389, p <.01) and total ( r =.688, p <0.01), psychological ( r =.627 , p <0.01) and somatic ( r =.673, p <.01) depression levels; and the factors Conscientiousness and Agreableness also correlated positively and significantly with age ( r =.381, p <.01; r =.309, p <.05 respectively) and age at diagnosis ( r =.450, p <.05; r =0.271, p <.0 1). Neuroticism was significantly a predictor ( R2 = .47, β =5.35, p<.01) of depressive symptoms, while Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Surgency factors together were predictors of self - efficacy in these patients ( R2 = .33, β =.23, p <.05). Personality facto rs must be considered in patients on the kidney transplant list, because they impact on behavior and depression levels of these patients.
