Background: Chronic kidney disease is a prolonged medical condition that impacts the self-care routines of patients receiving hemodialysis.Self-care practices significantly influence the treatment outcomes of patients, and it is essential for nurses to provide appropriate guidance to address the challenges that may arise during hemodialysis sessions.

Objectives: This study aimed to invent comprehensive nursing intervention and evaluate its efficacy on self-care practices.

Design: This study was experimental with a time series design.

Participants: Total enumerative sampling method was used to recruit 106 patients newly recruited for hemodialysis. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the intervention group given comprehensive nursing intervention, while the control group received routine care.

Measurements: This study was experimental with a time series design. The measurement instrument included structured self-care practice checklist which involves questions related to fistula care, physical activity, dietary modification and fluid restriction. The analysis involves use of chi square and independent t test.

Results: The participants mean age was 47.5 years. Application of comprehensive nursing interventionsignificantly (p < 0.05) improved self-care practice of patients in experimental group as compared to control group.

Conclusion: Comprehensive Nursing Intervention can improve self-care practice of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
