Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), seen as contagious in our country and in the world, is a crucial public health problem. CKD is rapidly increasing among the global mortality causes. Approximately 2 million patients have been maintaining their lives with dialysis and kidney transplant treatments, and it is predicted that the number of people who are expected to need dialysis treatment will be around 3.5 million in 2020. Recent health costs of CKD and kidney failure affects the health costs of both people and countries in a negative way. Nurses provide the patient safety in a way to prevent harm to all patients, pay attention to the equity in all service processes they give, work as patient-focused to provide appropriate service to the patients, manage the appropriate care and process during the patient care, and give care to the patients timely and consistently. Nurses use a standardized classification of nursing initiatives, North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) while giving care to the dialysis patients. Nurses who are working in health institutions have a crucial labor force in increasing the institution productivity. Providing the motivation increase of nurses increases the satisfaction of patient and patient’s relatives in addition with the productivity. If the institutions hope to provide a persistency in the fields of health, they need to plan and apply the goals that will increase the labor force productivity of nurses, and make improvements in necessary fields. It is important to employ people with bachelor of nursing and certificate holder about this subject in terms of cost-effectivity.
