Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the psychiatric morbidity using MINI questionnaire in patients diagnosed with CKD. Materials and Methods: Total 170 patients were interviewed over a period of one and a half year starting from January 2014. Each patient was assessed twice: at the baseline and after 3 months. Patients were approached and after obtaining their consent, information was collected about their socio-demographic details like age, sex, marital status and religion, duration of renal illness (CKD). Each patient was then screened for psychiatric morbidity using MINI questionnaire. Patients were then divided into two groups: those having psychiatric morbidity and those without. The collected data was compiled in MS Excel sheet 2007. For analyses of this data SPSS version 20 for Windows 7 was used.
