Method: The present ingle-group descriptive-analytic study was conducted in order to examine the relationship between thirst and dry mouth with the number of dials per week and the history of dialysis in hemodialysis patients. The sample size was determined to be 62 subjects using Cochran's formula, with α = 0.05 and β= 0.20. Result: The mean age of patients was 52.68 years, and 70 (42 individuals) of subjects were female and 30 (18 individuals) of subjects were male in the present study; 52 (86.6) subjects of the research units were married and 8 (13.4) were single. Conclusion: it is recommended to conduct larger studies to investigate he methods for reducing thirst and dry mouth in hemodialysis patients in order to improve the quality of life of these patients by controlling and preventing these complications. © 2017, Pharmainfo Publications.
