The study participants were 51 patients undergoing HD. Personal, socioeconomic, and objective data were collected, and the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ) was applied. The analysis was performed using simple descriptive statistics. <strong>Result</strong>: The average age was 56.7 years, and 58% of the patients were male. The percentages of non-adherence were diet (35.4%), hemodialysis (21.6%), fluid intake (15.7%), and medication (13.7%). <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Therapeutic adherence is a complex process that requires constant monitoring by a multidisciplinary team.</p> Angélica de Cássia Bitencourt, Sandra Marina dos Reis Copyright (c) 2024 Angélica de Cássia Bitencourt, Sandra Marina dos Reis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/article/view/1480 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0300
