An estimated 175,000 people in India were receiving chronic dialysis in 2018. On the basis of literature and clinical experience researchers realized the urgent need to plan and conduct a study on awareness about haemodialysis of caregivers of such patients. The study finding might be beneficial for the caregivers of haemodialysis patients. Methods: Present research study employed quantitative approach and pre experimental nature of research design. The research study was performed at Govt. general hospital, Upasana hospital and Lions hospital Mehsana city. Information booklet on knowledge was given as intervention. The time period employed in data collection was 4 weeks. Questionnaire method was used to gather data. The data collection tool encompasses two parts. Result: Around three fourth of the participants 70% scored poor knowledge level, 30% scored average knowledge level in pre test. Whereas in post test majority of the participants 62% scored good knowledge level, 32% scored average knowledge level regarding Haemodialysis. Paired ‘t’ test is 20.66 superior to table value (2.02, df 99) at .05 significance level. This illustrates about considerable disparity amid post and pre test knowledge score among among caregivers of haemodialysis patients following information booklet. Conclusion: Caregivers of haemodialysis patients have important role in reduction of complications.
