Three tools were used for data collection: nurses' knowledge regarding safety guidelines during hemodialysis questionnaire; Hemo Pause safety assessment observational checklist and hemodialysis Patient safety parameters questionnaire. Results: There are improvements in nurses‘ knowledge as evidenced by 70% and 82.5% of nurses had good knowledge and 97.5 and 80% of them had competent practice in both hospitals after implementing safety guidelines and Hemo-Pause checklist. Additionally, half of patients had high safety parameters in post intervention phase than in pre intervention which statistically significant difference at (p≤ 0.001). Conclusion: this study highlights the positive impact of implementing safety guidelines and utilizing the Hemo-Pause checklist on nursing practice and safety parameters in hemodialysis for adolescents and young adults.
