ABSTRACT
This study sample involved 50 children under hemodialysis [HD] therapy. Tools of data collection were questionnaire, physical assessment sheet, psychometric assessment, hemodialysis stressor scale and Jalowiec coping scale. The study concluded that nursing intervention enhanced knowledge about renal failure and its care, decreased levels of anxiety and depression and increased self-esteem that consequently result in better coping patterns of the studied children with their illness and stressors imposed by its related therapy. The study recommended further interventions to larger study samples to acquaint children under HD therapy with the required skills to cope with their illness that consequently will improve the quality of their lives
