Objective: to analyze the social representations of patients on hemodialysis in the terminal phase of chronic renal disease. Methodology: the theoretical methodological framework used was Social Representations Theory. The study scenarios were two dialysis centers in Rio de Janeiro, where 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis were included. Data were produced, from October to December 2015, using the free evocation technique, from the stimulus-term “hemodialysis”. Results: 434 words were obtained, which were reduced to 173 terms after standardization, and submitted to EVOC software to construct the four-box charts and analyze for similarity. Conclusion: the term most strongly evoked was life, associated with the terms dependence, salvation and survival. Moreover, hemodialysis also prompted images of sadness, panic, tiring, obligation and resigned.

Resultados: foram obtidas 434 palavras, que após padronização foram reduzidas a 173 termos, submetidos ao software Evoc para a construção do quadro de quatro casas e da análise de similitude.

RESUMEN
Objetivo: analizar las representaciones sociales de pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en fase terminal acerca de la hemodiálisis. Metodología: el marco teórico-metodológico utilizado es la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales. Los escenarios de estudio fueron dos centros de diálisis en Río de Janeiro, donde se incluyeron 100 pacientes en hemodiálisis. Para la producción de datos, realizada de octubre a diciembre de 2015, se utilizó la técnica de evocación libre, a partir del término inductor de hemodiálisis. Resultados: se obtuvieron 434 palabras que, tras la estandarización fueron reducidas a 173 términos, sometidos al software EVOC para la construcción del marco de cuatro casas y del análisis de similitud. Conclusión: el término "vida" fue el más fuertemente evocado, asociado a los términos dependencia, salvación y supervivencia. Por otra parte, la hemodiálisis también despertó las imágenes de tristeza, pánico, cansancio, obligación y conformidad.
