Introduction:
People with chronic kidney disease on dialysis therapy and their caregivers have different needs, which require explanations.

Results:
The findings were grouped into five themes: Need for promotion of adaptation and coping; Information and education requirement; Need for follow-up and retraining; Promotion of their decision-making capacity and Need for closer links with the health team.
Conclusions:
The practice of nephrology nursing care requires the continuous construction of the link with chronic kidney disease patients and their caregiver, which permit to identify and satisfy their needs.
