    [abstract] => This study examines the quality of life (QOL) and treatment-seeking behavior (TSB) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in the Philippines. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes the interplay between patient demographics, healthcare access, and psychosocial factors affecting CKD management. Results indicate that most participants were middle-aged males, exhibiting moderate QOL levels, with notable impacts on physical and mental well-being. A weak, non-significant correlation was found between QOL and TSB, suggesting that other factors, such as cultural beliefs, financial constraints, and social isolation, may have greater influence. The study proposes a bedside mental healthcare initiative to enhance psychological support for CKD patients, advocating for increased government funding, culturally sensitive health education, and comprehensive rehabilitation services
