By way of grounded theoretical strategy the data was collected from October 20, 1999 to November 20, 1999, at a hemodialytic unit that was located in Iksan, Chonbuk by the researcher.
The main research questions were "What´s the adaptation experience of a patient since after being received with hemodialysis?" to the patients, and "What´s the family adaptation experience of hemodialysis?" to the caregivers.
The collected data was analyzed by grounded theoretical strategy built by Glaser & Strauss in 1967.
