Someone who has end-stage or chronic renal failure, must undergo
hemodialysis therapy. The majority of patients who are faced with this situation
will experience changes in the spiritual biopsychosocial aspect. Spirituality is a
dynamic dimension of human life that connects a person with God, self, other
people and nature or the environment. The purpose of this study was to describe
the spiritual needs of hemodialysis patients in the Hemodialysis Room at Anwar
Medika General Hospital, Sidoarjo. The research design is descriptive. The study
population was all hemodialysis patients as many as 120 people. The sampling
technique was consecutive sampling and samples that met the requirements were
96 people. This research variable is the need for spirituality. Processing and data
analysis to find the mode value. The results showed that the spirituality needs of
hemodialysis patients in the medium category were 87 people (90.63%).

74 people (77.1%), relationships with oneself are in the medium category for 78
people (81.25%), relationships with others in the moderate category are 77 people
(8.02%), and relationship with nature or the environment in the medium category
