We performed the survey by questionnare so as to know how the sick children generally feel every day in their schools and society. Patients of chronic renal diseases over 16 were involved in the present investigation.
Ten point nine per cent of patients have been dissapointed by their teachers' underestimation, 6.5% have felt discomfort because of the insufficient communication between schools and hospitals, 16.8% have suffered from misunderstanding, teasing or harassment, and 32.1% have had some troubles or unnecessary restrictions in physical activities after school. Thirty-seven point four percent have been forced to face their own psycholical problems.
It usually takes so long time for doctors to take care of patients of chronic renal diseases. So we thought these would be very important subjects to give informations of the diseases to schools and society, to re-evaluate physical activities, and to show sincere attitude for the patients' psychologic problems.
