Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a general term for heterogeneous changes that affect both kidney structure and function, with multiple causes. Some of these patients, at some point, will need some type of Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), the available modalities being: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. It is known that patients with CKD on hemodialysis are susceptible to colonization and the development of bacterial infections, with percentages higher than those reported in individuals with other types of exposure to health care, impacting on a worse prognosis, with mortality rates up to 2.8 times. higher compared to the general population. Objective: To build and validate a safety instrument/checklist for hospitalized renal patients undergoing mobile hemodialysis. Methodology: methodological study in the quantitative approach, with the construction and validation of a checklist that will be carried out in three stages: construction of the checklist through scientific evidence; validation of the checklist by expert judges and target audience and implementation of the checklist in the mobile hemodialysis service. The construction, validation and implementation of the Checklist for Safety in Mobile Hemodialysis will take place from December 2022 to February 2023. The validation phase of the developed instrument will take place through the evaluation of expert judges in the area and the target audience working in the institution's dialysis service. All ethical precepts related to resolutions nº 466/2012; nº 510/2016 and nº 580/2018 will be preserved.
