abstract: Terminal renal failure and haemodialysis are precarious statute which put to the test capacities of adaptation of all patients. In this context, authors tempted to evaluate, using several instruments of measure, the importance and features of minor psychiatric disorders among 109 patients on chronic haemodialysis. Results of Goldberg test (GHQ) confronted to those of the medical interview reveal that anxio-depressive morbidity is frequent. According to results of the adaptation test to stress, our patients preserve a good mood but are often invaded by black ideas. In the field of the personal life, dissatisfaction concerns by decreasing order the lodging and the environment of the patient, the relation with parents, friends, the conjoined and medical care. This work, if it raises problems relatively unknown as much by the psychiatrist that by nephrology specialist, insist on the importance of multidisciplinary in order to assure holistic care and to improve the quality of life of patients on dialysis.
