- Abstract
Objective: understanding in the perspective of kidney patients the factors those favor adherence to treatment of chronic renal failure. Method: a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, performed in a clinic with six hemodialysis patients. The data were generated through interviews and analyzed using Content Analysis in the form of Thematic Analysis. The study had the project approved by the Research Ethics Committee, protocol 062/2006. Results: three issues were raised: support of the multidisciplinary team, family support and commitment. Conclusion: adapting to a new lifestyle generates a series of changes on the routine of these patients because of the needs that chronic renal failure imposes, which may hinder their adherence to treatment. In this sense, the construction of an educational approach should be highlighted as a strategy to stimulate the adhesion of these patients, decreasing the morbidity and mortality during treatment of kidney disease.
