In order to be empowered in different situations related to dialysis care, patients need
knowledge. This study describes the knowledge expectations of patients on dialysis treatment
(n = 47) and selected background variables. The results indicated that patients
expressed moderate knowledge expectations. Most important were the biophysiological,
functional, and ethical dimensions of knowledge. The least important were the social
and experiential dimensions of knowledge. Patients’ age, employment status, dialysis
modality, and length of dialysis were positively correlated with knowledge expectations.
