IIntroduction - Urinary System Is Of One Of The Vital System Among Human Body. The Urinary Tract Is Like The Plumbing System, It Drains Urine From The Kidneys And Plays An Important Role In Maintaining The Homeostasis, A Set Of Complex Processes To Maintain The Balance Of Water, Ions, Calcium And Blood Pressure In The Human Body. The Urinary System Consists Of two Kidneys, two Ureters, one Bladder, And The Urethra. The Urinary Tract Is The Body`s Drainage System For The Eventual Removal Of Urine. Two Kidneys Are Present In The Human Body And Are Located Retroperitoneally. Each Kidney Consists Of Functional Units Called Nephrons. Following Filtration Of Blood And Further Processing, Wastes Exit The Kidney Via The Ureters, Tubes Made Of Smooth Muscle Fibres That Propel Urine Towards The Urinary Bladder, Where It Is Stored And Subsequently Expelled From The Body By Urination. Methods -Non- experimental quantitative approach was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study , which is felt to be most appropriate in the field of education for its practicability in real life situations ,it has the advantage of practicability ,feasibility and to a certain extent for generalization .Research design was adopted was descriptive research design .the study was conducted in haemodialysis unit ,svims ,tirupati. The population in this study includes in haemodialysis unit , svims ,tirupati. Sample size consists of who are undergoing haemodialysis patients on CKD II nd stage dialysis unit ,svims ,tirupati. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted for the present study based on inclusion criteria. Results- The findings of the study revealed that only 17% of patiens have inadequate knowledge, 44% of patients have moderate knowledge, and 39% of patients have adequate knowledge on self care management of haemodialysis . The findings of the association between the knowledge 0n self care management among patients undergoing haemodialysis among patients with their selected demographic variables were analyzed with chi-square. The results shown that education, occupation, showed significant association with the level of knowledge with a chi square value of 43.201, 18.441 respectively which was highly significant at P<0.01 level Gender, previous self care management among patients undergoing haemodialysis had significant association with the level of knowledge with a chi square value of 3.051, 7.832 respectively which was statistically significant at P<0.05 level and other variables were not having any significant association with the level of knowledge 0n self care management among patients undergoing haemodialysis. With the correlation of demographic variables among participants revealed that Age, Gender, Education, Occupation, Monthly income were positively correlated at p<0.05 level Conclusion - The study concluded that only17% of patients have inadequate knowledge, 44% of patients have moderate knowledge, and 39% of patients have adequate knowledge 0n self care management among patients undergoing haemodialysis and hence the patients should improve their knowledge on self care management of hemodialysis.
