The kidneys are bean shaped organs that serve several essential roles in humans. The most important function of the kidneys is to remove wastes from the body. When the kidneys do not work as well as they should, the wastes in the body are not removed and it's harmful for the body. This condition can be treated by dialysis wherein accumulated waste is removed from the patients' body either by Hemodialysis (HD) or Peritoneal dialysis (PD). On an average 2,53,050 patients undergo dialysis every month in India (Indian Society of Nephrology, 2009.). The present research investigated upon the impact of dialysis on quality of life of 120 patients. One of the sub-scales of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL SF) {ESRD- Targeted Areas} (1997) had been employed for the purpose of data collection. The results were statistically analysed using a 2x2 ANOVA design, findings of the current research indicated that PD patients had significantly higher burden of disease related QOL as compared to HD patients. The males also exhibited higher burden of disease related QOL as compared to females. The PD patients had higher marital and sexual function related QOL than the HD patients.Keywords

The present study was aimed at, a. studying the relationship between gender and academic resilience and its dimensions among adolescent students, and b. To study how academic resilience and its dimensions are correlated with academic achievement among adolescent students. 140 adolescent students (14-18 years) were selected as part of the sample, selected through Purposive Sampling Technique. The sample were selected from various schools across the city of Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and Kottayam (Kerala). Academic Resilience was measured on the dimensions (Academic Confidence, Sense of Well-being, Motivation, & Ability to get goals, Relationship with Peers and Adults, & Emotional Regulation & Physical Health), using the Academic Resilience Scale (Mallick & Kaur, 2015) and Academic Achievement was assessed by collecting the marks acquired by the students during the past one academic year. The data was statistically analyzed using t test method and Pearson's correlation method were used. The data showed significant difference on the dimension of Emotional Regulation and Physical Health, while no significant difference was found on the overall scale, when comparing the gender wise differences on the Academic Resilience scale. In addition, Academic Achievement scores were shown to be negatively correlated with the dimension of Academic Confidence, Emotional Regulation and Physical Health, and the overall score, of the Academic Resilience scale. COVID-19 has forced the students towards a more online learning environment, which has negatively affected the resilience qualities among the students, i.e., Academic Resilience, as seen from the results.Keywords
