Background: Patient adherence can be influ­enced by several factors that can affect com­pli­ance with hemodialysis treatment. Adherence is highly treated while undergoing hemodialysis in order to achieve success in hemodialysis (HD) treatment. Adherence is one of the beha­viors of a person in achieving successful HD treatment. The success of a treatment can be influenced by several fac­tors, one of which is the use of HD. This study aimed to determine the effect of compliance with hemodialysis.Subjects and Method: The was an obser­vational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in January 2020. The sample used was 120 chronic kid­ney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis at Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Sragen Hospital. The de­pendent variable was compliance with hemo­dialysis. The independent variables are: know­ledge, length of care, family income. Data were collected by means of a question­naire. Data analysis was performed using path analysis with Stata 13.Results: The use of HD in patients with chro­nic renal failure had a positive associa­tion with high HD knowledge (b= 1.22; 95% CI= 2.21 to -3.98; p= 0.027), length of stay (b= 2.09; 95% CI= 4.29 to 3.05; p<0.001), and has no positive relationship with family income (b = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.80 to 1.41; p = 0.426). The use of HD in patients with chro­nic renal failure is influenced indirectly by family income and length of treatment.Conclusion: The use of HD in chronic renal failure patients has a direct relationship with knowledge of HD and length of treatment, and has no direct relationship with family income. The use of HD in patients with chro­nic renal failure is influenced indirectly by family income and length of treatment.Keywords: hemodialysis, chronic renal failureCorrespondence: Anisa Andriani.
