The accumulation of a large number of stressors in dialysis patients and fear of future represent an intense stressful situation that requires readiness and resilience to cope with this situation. The aim of the work was to find out which coping strategies are preferred in patients with hemodialysis, to compare gender differences and to find out relationships between coping strategies, age and duration of dialysis treatment. Cross-section research design was used. The Brief Cope questionnaire was used as data collection method. The sample of 30 respondents/patients enrolled in the dialysis program. We found that the most commonly used coping strategy in patients with hemodialysis was Acceptance (adaptive strategy). Overall, women used all of the coping strategies more than men. A statistically significant difference was found in the Ventilation strategy (maladaptive strategy) more preferred among women. The preference for the Humor strategy (adaptive strategy) has been associated with shorter duration of dialytic treatment. The gender and duration of dialysis treatment may affect the type of preferred coping strategies in patients with hemodialysis. Knowledge of these factors should be taken into account in the individualized care of a patient with hemodialysis to achieve optimal outcome in the patient.
