Abstract

It was found by correlating the two study variables that the medium-level self-care capacity increases as the level of self-esteem increases. This shows that 53.8% of patients with low self-esteem have medium self-care capacity and only 7.7% % have a high self-care capacity, in terms of the self-esteem variable, 48.4% have medium-level self-esteem, the rest is distributed between high self-esteem 37.6% and low self-esteem 14%. In the self-care capacity variable, 48.4% have a medium self-care level, 25.8% have low and high self-care. It is concluded; When performing the statistical test of Spearman's correlation coefficient (Spearman's rho: 0.338 p value: 0.001), it was found that there is a significant direct or positive relationship of medium level between self-esteem and the ability to self-care in patients who receive hemodialysis treatment.
