Background: Non-adherence to dialysis is a cause for concern as it leads to several life-threatening complications. Several factors can contribute to non-adherence in dialysis patients. The aims to identify factors contributing to nonadherence among chronic renal failure patients undergoing haemodialysis sessions. Methods: Research design: Descriptive research design.Setting : Dairout General Hospital at haemodialysis unit. Subjects :A purposive sample of 95 adults patients, male & female, their age ranged from 18-65 years, undergoing haemodialysis and agreed to participate in the study. Tools : Tool (1):Patient assessment. Tool (2):Non-adherence contributing factors questionnaire among chronic renal failure patients. Results : Six categories of factors contributing to non-adherence among chronic renal failure patients undergoing haemodialysis sessions were identified. These were patient related factors, sociodemographic factors, psychological factors, therapy related factors, disease related factors and health care related factors.Conclusion: Non-adherence remains a major obstacle in the effective management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Recommendations:There is need for collaborative approach to devise measures that eliminate relevant contributing factors to non-adherence among chronic renal failure (CRF)patients.
