摘要：The Evaluation of Information Requirements of the Intensive Care Nurses in End-Stage Renal Failure Patients Care Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the information requirements of the intensive care nurses in caring of end-stage renal failure patients. Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted in a teaching and research hospital. The practice has been completed with 133 nurses. Data collection form consists of 54 questions. Results: Twenty participants are male, mean age 28.2 ± 5.6 and 60.2% of the participants works in the surgical ICU. Average correct count is 32.7 ± 4,5 (min=11-max=40), the most correct answer count is 33 (n = 25). More than half of the nurses (55.6%) know how to control the arteriovenous fistula. However, 73.7% of the nurses do not feel competent themselves in ESRD patients care and 36.1% of the cases gave the wrong answer to the question about the need to use masks while doing hemodialysis catheter dressing. A statistically significant relationship were found between receiving training about ESRD and the count of correct answer (p=0.011). There is no statistically significant relationship between working time in intensive care unit, full operating time and the count of correct answer (p=0.45). Conclusion: Most of the participants (80%) answered at least 70% of the knowledge questions about ESRD correctly. It is suggested that standards must be created utilizing clinical practice guidelines to increase the effectiveness of nursing care. Education changes perceptions about issues especially in critical units such as intensive care units and acts by increasing the knowledge. There should be multidisciplinary training programs about ESRD and training programs should be organized related to the subject to intensive care staff.
