Background: Haemodialysis (HD) patients require social support and self-acceptance, which influence both internal and external aspects affecting the patient. Positive self-acceptance enhances the quality of life for individuals undergoing treatment. Methods: The research employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional method to investigate the interaction of social support, knowledge, and demographics on the self-acceptance of haemodialysis patients. The study sample comprised 106 patients who received haemodialysis at the hospital. The inclusion criteria consisted of weekly routine haemodialysis, individuals aged 17 to 80 years, and duration of haemodialysis treatment ranging from 1 to 5 years. The data collection employed the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and information on renal illness. Statistical software was utilized for data analysis to derive frequency distribution and conduct Chi-Square tests to evaluate the association between variables. Results: The findings indicated that self-acceptance was favourable at 61%, moderate social support at 57%, and a good knowledge level at 54%. Age significantly correlated with self-acceptance (P: 0.04), although social support, knowledge, gender, and employment level did not demonstrate any link with self-acceptance. Conclusion: Self-acceptance is affected by age, although social support, knowledge, gender, and occupation do not significantly impact. Cultural influences and regional values contribute to patients' self-acceptance of health issues. Healthcare providers and nurses’ professionals consider age-related characteristics and artistic dimensions to deliver tailored psychosocial support for haemodialysis patients. Nurses need to consider age factors and cultural values in providing psychosocial support to haemodialysis patients to improve self-acceptance and quality of life of patients.
