Objective: to examine health self-perception and associated factors in individuals with chronic kidney disease in dialysis therapy. Method: in this quantitative, cross-sectional study of 42 patients attending the nephrology unit of a public hospital in Recife, Pernambuco, from May to August 2016, data were collected by semistructured interview and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, after approval by the research ethics committee. Results: 29 patients (69%) self-assessed their health as poor, but no association was found with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics (p<0.05). Conclusion: the high prevalence of self-assessed poor health reflects the need for educational information and self-care for a better understanding of health status and consequent adherence to therapy.
