The child and family with Chronic Kidney Failure (CKD) receiving dialysis treatment are faced with many changes in the physical, psychological and social areas in this process. The child, whose independence is restricted due to continuous follow-up and treatments, including experiences situations such as development problems, school failures, and deterioration in social relations, making it difficult to comply with treatment. The ability of the child and her/his family to cope with the disease and to survive is only possible by adapting to the changes in the lives of CKD and hemodialysis. In this process, important responsibility falls on the nurses who have a key role in communication with the child and her/his family at every stage of the illness and treatment process. Nurses provide care to their patients within the framework of standardized theories and models, increasing the quality of care and professionalism. The Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) will guide nurses in increasing the adaptation of children and their families receiving hemodialysis treatment to fundamental changes in their lives and supporting adaptation. In this case report, the evaluation of adaptation behaviors in the fields of physiology, self-concept, role function, and interdependence of the child and her family receiving hemodialysis treatment in line with RAM and the nursing diagnosis process are discussed. It is possible to say that RAM contributes to the evaluation of children and their families receiving hemodialysis treatment and to determining their needs for strengthening their coping systems.
