The aim of this study was to describe the care of patients with chronic kidney disease towards their hemodialysis access, and report on the guidelines and care given by the nursing staff. This is a descriptive study, developed in a hemodialysis clinic located in the city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará, between October and November 2014, with 28 patients on hemodialysis. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken to collect data. The thematic analysis technique was chosen, with the following categories: Care towards the hemodialysis access and its implications in self-care, and Perception of patients with chronic kidney disease on guidance and care received from the nursing staff. Patients highlighted the doubts related to changes in habits, and concerns of the nursing staff about patency of access, with guidance on home care and interventions in the dialysis service. Educational strategies to the patient in the acquisition of new skills for the preservation of hemodialysis access are necessary.
