Method: This study was a descriptive study. Data in research; patient information form, form questioning the way of pain management types, visual analog scale (VAS) were used.
Results: Muscle cramps and nausea that show statistically significant differences between men and women, were more commonly seen in women (p≤0.05). HD applied CRF patients, they experienced musculoskeletal pain associated with most (36.9%) were determined to experience the more women than men (p<0.05). Perceived pain intensity was significantly higher in women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was determined that patients had complications mostly muscle cramps, so their pain reasons are mostly related to musculoskeletal system and they had moderate pain, women had much more complications and pains related to musculoskeletal system.
