Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence, severity or impact of symptoms in hemodialysispatients and its relationship with self efficacy and family support to identify factors influencing their symptoms. Across-sectional design was used and the subjects were 243 patients undergoing hemodialysis at local units. The patients were Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), a questionnaire about the presence and severity of symptoms. The datawere analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson coefficient correlation and multiple regression. There were significant differences in the total score of symptoms according to age and duration of hemodialysis. Symptoms score had significant negative correlations with family support (r=-.35, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=-.16,p=.006). Family support explained 16.0% of the variance in symptoms score. Hemodialysis patients experience manydistressing symptoms, which have negative effects on quality of their life. Promoting family support can help to reduce and control distressing symptoms in hemodialysis patients.
