This research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test–post-test and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all hemodialysis patients who attended the dialysis center, from whom 30 individuals were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Research instruments included standardized questionnaires assessing treatment adherence and quality of life. The experimental group received CBT in multiple sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests, and the results indicated that CBT significantly improved treatment adherence and enhanced quality of life among hemodialysis patients. These findings suggest that CBT can serve as an effective psychological intervention for improving both medical and psychosocial outcomes in this population.</p> https://www.journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/psychnexus/article/download/4497/8302
