Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) clients undergoing hemodialysis face significant challenges requiring lifelong treatment adherence and self-care practices. Adequate knowledge of self-care management is vital to prevent complications, improve quality of life, and reduce healthcare burden.

Objectives

1.       To assess the knowledge regarding self-care management among CKD clients undergoing hemodialysis.

2.       To find the association between knowledge levels and selected demographic variables among CKD clients.

Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 CKD clients undergoing hemodialysis using purposive sampling. A structured knowledge questionnaire was administered to assess self-care knowledge. Data were analyzed using SPSS v25 with descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: Out of 50 participants, 52% had moderate knowledge, 30% had inadequate knowledge, and only 18% had adequate knowledge of self-care practices. Significant associations were found between knowledge level and education (p = 0.023) and duration of hemodialysis (p = 0.041).
