METHOD: methodological study. Data was collected between May and June 2012, through personal interviews with 12 participants, in two dialysis centers. The empirical material was analyzed according to the thematic content analysis, using the program MAXQDA - Qualitative Data Analysis Software. RESULTS: we identifi ed seven themes: self-care, family support, impact of diagnosis, expectation of kidney transplant, truancy, socialization and stigma, grouped into three domains.
