- Abstract
Objective: Identify the adherence behavior of chronic kidney patients to the four dimensions of the therapeutic regimen: hemodialysis, medication use, diet and fluid restriction. Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed at two hemodialysis centers in the State of Rio de Janeiro. To collect the data, an evaluation questionnaire was used on the adherence of the chronic kidney patient on hemodialysis. The data were analyzed through simple descriptive statistics. Results: The domain with the highest percentage of non-adherent patients was hemodialysis with 32%. Medication was the domain with the highest percentage of adherent patients, 93.6%. Conclusion: Treatment adherence is a dynamics behavior and, therefore, needs constant monitoring.
