Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is the result of many chronic degenerative diseases. The patient with the disease and undergoing hemodialysis undergoes many changes in your lifestyle. That is why it is important to assess the prevalence of adaptive mechanisms in patients in the psychological, emotional and social aspects. Objective: To identify the prevalence of adaptive mechanisms in the area of the psychological, emotional and social that uses the patient with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: A descriptive quantitative study, the questionnaire "Mechanisms of adaptation of patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy" was used. It was made in 2010; and presented a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 7.0, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results and Discussion: The study found a prevalence of affective mechanisms, 71.4% engaged in adaptation; social mechanisms stand with 61.9% in compensatory adaptation; showing no favorable percentages in the psychological mechanisms. Conclusions: Most people with kidney disease on hemodialysis, use different mechanisms to adapt to the process which depends entirely on the environment in which they develop and the family support they receive.
