Abstract
The level of self-management by those undergoing hemodialysis in this study was less than ideal, varying from 'rare' to 'sometimes' for use of self-management behaviors. For the different subscales of self-management, partnership was the most used and emotional management the least used strategy. Patients' knowledge, self-efficacy, the availability of social support and depression were the main factors influencing self-management.
