Filter by:Range of motion (ROM) is a term used to describe the amount of motion in each joint in our body. Every joint in the body has a normal range of motion. Maintaining the normal opening of the joints is achieved through movement. ROM exercises reduce contractures and are very important in terms of helping to preserve muscle movements. ROM exercises are an inexpensive method that can be applied in any environment, either as a group or individually, covering all muscle-joint groups. Individuals with disabilities can perform ROM exercises individually or receive support from healthcare professionals. It provides support to venous return by increasing muscle strength in patients who are immobilized for a long time. Based on this information, the aim of our study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity ROM exercises during hemodialysis on hypotension, fatigue and hemodialysis comfort. The patients will be divided into the intervention group (n=32) in which 20 minutes of ROM exercise was applied and the control group (n=32) in which routine nursing care was given. For the sample calculation of the study, G power analysis was performed, type 1 error was 0.05; type 2 error 0.20; With a power of 0.80, a minimum sample size of 64 people for the experimental and control groups. The case group will be given lower extremity ROM exercises for a total of two weeks. Each individual in the case group will have lower extremity ROM exercises, each of which will last 20 minutes, at the beginning of the session and at the beginning of the hour until the end of the session. "Piper's Fatigue Scale" and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale" in the data collection form will be applied again at the end of the 1st and 2nd weeks after the sessions have started. The vital signs of the individual will be followed and recorded at each session.
To explore the correlations between spiritual well-being, self compassion, physical symptoms distress and demoralization among hemodialysis patients
Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Reiki on pain intensity and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Materials and methods The research was conducted as a qualitative study using pretest-posttest, double-blind, randomized controlled study and semi-structured in-depth interview. In this study, patients receiving HD treatment in three separate private dialysis centers in Turkey were randomized to Reiki and sham Reiki groups. In the first three hours of the HD session, in the first three hours of the HD session, three sessions a week for a total of 12 sessions for 30 minutes (min), the first level is applied to 9 main points (crown, forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras, knees, ankles and feet). While applying Reiki, the sham Reiki group was touched at the same points for the same period of time by the uninitiated practitioner. At the beginning and end of the study, Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOLTM-36) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-Pain) before and after the application, and psychodynamic reactions experienced during the Reiki application after the application were evaluated. At the end of the research, the Reiki group's opinions about the Reiki experience were collected using a form consisting of semi-structured questions.
This study is a randomised controlled intervention trial for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (n=32). The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of an intradialytic training with a simple bed compatible trainingstool in comparison to a control group.
Hemodialysis is a necessary treatment to prolong the lives of patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, long-term dialysis can lead to fatigue and decreased sleep quality. Acupoint stimulation can regulate meridians and improve physical function. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of low-level laser stimulation on fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients remains unclear. This study is designed to use low-level laser stimulation as an intervention measure to evaluate its effectiveness in improving fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.
this study aimed to compare the removal of indoxyl sulphate between hemodiafiltration, high flux hemodialysis and low flux hemodialysis
The 16-week trial is an open-label cross-over trial which includes heamodialysis patients with T2D and T1D on insulin therapy. During one period, patients carry a non-blinded CGM. In the other period they follow standard procedures (the last two weeks with a blinded CGM). The patients and the dialysis staff can use the CGM measures to regulate insulin and food intake during the non-blinded weeks. The research group will collect the CGM-data during the trial.
To explore the clinical effect of Shenkang Decoction in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients with hemodialysis (HD).
The research is to explore the effect of acupressure on uremic pruritus and sleep quality among patients receiving hemodialysis. The research method adopts the experimental research method using randomization. The patients receiving the intervention of acupressure are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group.
Arteriovenous fisutla (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis but has a high early failure (eAVFF) rate. eAVFF can be defined as thrombosis/stenosis and Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-based failure-to-mature parameters such as postoperative blood flow (PostQa) < 500 ml/min, AVF-vein diameter (PostVD) < 5 mm, and AVF-vein depth (PostVDepth) ≥ 6 mm. We explored whether common risk factors for eAVFF could predict these eAVFF parameters and venous distensibility: the latter is largely overlooked as a potential eAVFF parameter.
