abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  RESULTS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The nursing diagnoses in this population may be influenced by the socioeconomic/clinical data.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results suggest an opportunity for improved nursing intervention in this community.
