Background Patients with renal failure had poorer quality of life than patients with other chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes mellitus and even cancer which makes them more susceptible to withdraw dialysis treatment. Objectives The study was conducted to implement a health education program for patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis and their caregivers at Ain Shams University Hospital and measure its effect on their quality of life. Methods A controlled interventional study was carried out on three phases. A sample of 56 patients on chronic regular hemodialysis and their caregivers (HD) were selected from the two hemodialysis units at Ain Shams university hospital and data were collected at the beginning and after six months of the health education program. Results The intervention group of the patients after the intervention reported significant better quality of life scores than the control group in all the domains except in work status, quality of social interaction, sexual function, social support and patient satisfaction and there were statistically significant increases in the intervention group of the caregivers than the control group in social function, emotional well-being, role emotional and mental component summary scores.
