comprehensive bio-psycho-social-spiritual- services for patients with kidney failure who
undergo hemodialysis therapy, in this case nurses are required to play a role in
returning patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy to be able to carry out their
functions, maintain their quality of life and remain enthusiastic in adherence to

categories (50%), sufficient categories (14.71%) and less categories (0%) while the
level of adherence of Hemodialysis patients was in the non-adherent category (1% ), less
