Clinical Trial Summary
This research will be conducted to evaluate the effects of audio book application on anxiety,
depression and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
Description:
Hemodialysis is an extracorporeal blood purification technique used to remove accumulated
metabolic waste products in patients and is a frequently used treatment method in patients
with end-stage renal disease.
Although hemodialysis, which is one of the treatment of end-stage renal disease, prolongs
life, it can also lead to various psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and
severe stress. Psychological disorders and depression in dialysis patients often manifest as
a response to loss of ability to work and earn an income, decreased energy, decreased sexual
function, other limitations caused by physical disability, and reduced life expectancy.
Depression is the most common psychopathological condition in patients with end-stage renal
disease. The rate of depressive symptoms among dialysis patients is high and its prevalence
is up to 43%, and it is stated that it has a significant effect on quality of life. The
psychological and somatic effects of depression can complicate the course of the chronic
disease.
Reading books is one of the tools to heal mental disorders. Some individuals cannot read on
their own due to aging, poor eyesight, or lack of literacy. An audiobook is a recording of a
book read by an author, actor, celebrity, or amateur. Audiobooks are recommended for their
friendliness, comfort, and emotional impact. Audiobooks are recommended to increase the
quality of life of individuals and to protect social health.
This research will be conducted to evaluate the effects of audio book application on anxiety,
depression and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
Patient information form, hospital anxiety depression scale, SF-36 quality of life scale will
be used to collect research data.
