Subjects: A convenient sample of (34) children undergoing hemodialysis therapy & their caregivers who accompanied them. Tools: three tools used in this study; Tool (I): Include three parts: Socio-demographic characteristics of the studied children, Clinical information of the studied children undergoing hemodialysis, and Sociodemographic characteristics of children's caregivers. Tool (II): included two parts; Knowledge of caregivers related to hemodialysis, knowledge of caregivers related to COVID19, and Preventive and control strategies of Covid19 used by caregivers for their children undergoing hemodialysis therapy.
