Aim: To evaluate the comfort levels and satisfaction with nursing care of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Materials and Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 109 patients receiving hemodialysis in units of a university and a state hospital. Patients who had been receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least six months, had no communication difficulties, and voluntarily agreed to participate were included in the study. Data were collected using the "Hemodialysis Comfort Scale" and the "Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale". Results: The mean age of the patients was 61.54+/-12.67 years. Among the participants, 62.4% were male, 72.5% were married, 85.3% had children, and 89.9% lived in nuclear families. Half of the participants (50.5%) were primary school graduates, 56.9% were retired, and 66.1% had a moderate income level. Participants' disease duration was 6.80+/-7.54 years. The mean total score of the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale was 3.30+/-0.86, and the mean total score of the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale was 82.40+/-16.37.
