Personal Information Form, Reed's self-transcendence scale, and European Health Impact Scale were used in data collection.
Results: There was a highly positive relationship between the self-transcendence scale and the European Health Impact Scale (p, 0.000, r = 0.605). Also, it was found in this study that age and level of income of hemodialysis patients affected the quality of life and the self-transcendence.
