Chronic renal failure is a condition that affects the kidneys and has long-term consequences for physical, psychological, and social well-being. It reduces quality of life, productivity, and independence, leading to increased costs and the need for care. In order to ensure treatment compliance and maintain living standards, it is important to enhance individuals' readiness for treatment. While there are psychological intervention studies during the treatment process, there are few studies that focus on psychological readiness before dialysis. This study highlights acceptance and determination-based approaches to help individuals become aware of their feelings and thoughts and accept them, minimizing resistance to treatment and improving treatment compliance. By managing negative emotions and thoughts towards the treatment, this study aims to increase disease compliance, provide psychological support during pre-dialysis trainings, diversify the use of acceptance and commitment therapy-based approaches, and promote psychosocial support in chronic diseases in psychiatric nursing practices.
