title: Noncompliance in chronic hemodialysis patients: an assessment approach for care planning.
abstract: Noncompliance is a nursing diagnosis frequently encountered by nephrology nurses in their practice. Patient assessment, as part of the nursing process, gives us insight into the numerous factors contributing to noncompliance. An assessment approach has been developed to assist nurses in acquiring the knowledge, empathy and understanding to plan effective care for the noncompliant patient.
