To review the evidence of transportation barriers faced by adults on hemodialysis and their effects on treatment adherence and quality of life.
Conducted a systematic review
Searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect databases

Analyzed 11 studies from eight countries with varying sample sizes
Identified four main barriers: travel distance and time, transportation costs, mode of transport, and service reliability
These barriers hindered treatment adherence and community participation
Overall, transportation constraints lead to decreased autonomy and quality of life for individuals on hemodialysis
