The results of this study obtained three themes concerning Self-Care Experiences of Chronic Kidney Failure Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis During the Covid-19 Pandemic. The conclusions obtained in this study are: an overview of self-care of chronic kidney failure patients while undergoing hemodialysis, the efforts made by hemodialysis patients to prevent transmission of Covid-19, the expectations of hemodialysis patients for life.
