Abstract: Hemodialysis is a life saving treatment that can offer significant advantages for certain patients, but it can have serious risks if the patients and their caregivers didn't track and understand the concept of its safety. Safety is the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. Keeping patients safe in the dialysis environment is a topic of great concern for patients and nurses...........

Therefore, nurses who aim to reach holistic care should show sensitivity towards a patient's cultural background and they also should have information on the relevant culture. In literature it is suggested for nurses to benefit from models and guidelines in evaluating the cultural characteristics of the society they provide care to. Purnell's..........
