ABSTRACT Background Nurses play a crucial role in haemodialysis care, yet they often face complex responsibilities, heavy workloads, and emotional strain. Despite their central role, limited evidence exists regarding the barriers and facilitators that influence their experiences, particularly within Indonesia's public hospital settings. Objective This study aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers encountered by nursing professionals in delivering haemodialysis care in Indonesia. Design A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Participants Sixteen dialysis nurses were recruited through purposive sampling from three tertiary government hospitals in Indonesia. Methods Data were collected through in‐depth interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis approach. Findings Three overarching themes emerged as facilitators: team collegiality, adequate equipment and clinical resources, and respect and remuneration, encompassing eight sub‐themes. Four major themes were identified as barriers: limited specialised equipment; staffing constraints; patient barriers such as travel cost, cultural beliefs; and adherence to treatment and educational barriers, comprising ten sub‐themes. Conclusion This study highlights the dual nature of facilitators and barriers influencing nursing practice in haemodialysis units. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective strategies to enhance workforce capacity, optimise resource allocation, and foster supportive work environments. Ultimately, addressing these barriers may improve both nurses' professional well‐being and the quality of care provided to patients undergoing haemodialysis in Indonesia.
