The population receiving hemo dilaysis now represents a wide cross-section of age rehabilitative potential of socio-economic status. Materials and Methods: For the present study, quantitative Evaluative Approach ,Pre – Experimental research design, one group pretest and one group post test design.The study was conducted in the Mamata General and super specialty Hospital at Khammam, Telangana. Results: The above table shows that the pre test mean knowledge score is 10.05 and standard deviation is 3.77 where as post test mean score is 18.02 and standard deviation is 3.36 and mean difference is 7.97, the paired ‘t’ test calculated value is 14.89, which is greater than table value with df value of 79at (p<0.05) level. Conclusion: The main study was conducted in Mamata general and super specialty hospital, at Khammam, Telanagana . The sample sizes 30.
