Objectives: to understand the impact of hemodialysis treatment on the life of patients with chronic kidney disease. Method: this is a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 15 patients from a Dialysis and Kidney Transplant Unit, located in the city of Crato-Ceará. The collected data were organized through Collective Subject Discourse and analyzed based on Callista Roy's Adaptive Theory. Results: 15 patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease participated in the study. The participants' speeches regarding the questions made it possible to identify that hemodialysis directly impacts the lives of these patients, interfering with their daily lives, mainly due to the social limitations that involve their work, eating and cultural habits, and the impact on mental health. Conclusion: Promoting more effective approaches to the therapeutic management of patients with chronic kidney disease will assist the nursing staff in identifying the most frequent adaptive problems, resulting in more resolute care and congruent with the needs of the dialysis patient.
