Purpose To analyze the association between nursing diagnoses and socioeconomic/clinical characteristics of patients on hemodialysis. Methods Cross‐sectional study conducted by means of interview and physical examination of 178 patients consecutively selected. Findings Nursing diagnoses within the NANDA ‐ I domains of health promotion, nutrition, activity/rest, perception/cognition, sexuality, safety/protection, and comfort presented statistically significant association with the socioeconomic/clinical data of age, education, sex, marital status, and duration of the chronic renal disease and hemodialysis. Conclusion The nursing diagnoses in this population may be influenced by the socioeconomic/clinical data. Implications for Nursing Practice The results suggest an opportunity for improved nursing intervention in this community.
