Clinical Trial Summary
Range of motion exercises is a simple nursing action that has many benefits and is easy to
perform independently . Hemodialysis patients are less active and have low intrinsic
motivation for physical activity compared to sedentary healthy individuals. The aim of this
study is to determine the effect of joint range of motion exercises on fatigue and sleep
quality in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. As a result of the literature review;
The lack of a study on this subject and the inclusion of nurses, who play an important role
in symptom management, in care interventions that are easy to learn and without
complications, increase the quality of care.
Description:
In the advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis treatment is required to
maintain the well-being of patients and improve their quality of life.It has been reported in
the literature that the prevalence of fatigue varies between 60-97% in patients undergoing
hemodialysis . Fatigue is a subjective feeling of weakness, loss of energy, tiredness and
weakness. As a result of fatigue, patients experience limited participation in life and feel
dependent. They often experience failure to be understood by others and meet expectations.
This affects patients' self-esteem and causes problems with changing roles and relationships,
identity, and meaning in life.
One of the most common complaints due to various reasons in patients receiving hemodialysis
treatment is deterioration in sleep quality. In different studies conducted in patients
receiving hemodialysis treatment, it has been reported that the deterioration in sleep
quality varies between 53.3% and 87% . Deterioration in sleep quality, on the other hand,
causes a decrease in patients' daily life activities, energy levels, self-care power and
quality of life .
The quality of life has improved significantly, especially in the symptoms and effects of
kidney disease. Range of another method of reducing the level of fatigue, is an activity or
physical exercise to keep the body healthy, improve health, and maintain physical health.
Range of motion is good for increasing cardiac output, alveolar ventilation, basal metabolic
rate and joint mobilization. It is also a good option for reducing weakness and increasing
stress tolerance.
Nurses have responsibilities in the symptom management of HD treatment, which reduces the
quality of life of the patients, increases the stress level and negatively affects the
physical and psychosocial aspects, supports the patients better, increases their quality of
life, and provides evidence. Hemodialysis patients are inactive for an average of 12 hours
per week during hemodialysis. By adding more functionality to the time spent on hemodialysis,
it can improve patients' quality of life and increase compliance with treatment. The aim of
this study is to determine the effect of range of motion exercises on the fatigue and sleep
quality experienced by patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. As a result of the
literature review, it was necessary to carry out this study in order not to carry out a study
on this subject and to include nurses who play an important role in symptom management in
their care interventions, which are easy to learn and do not have any complications, and to
improve the quality of care with their applications. The aim of the study is to determine the
effect of range of motion exercises applied to hemodialysis patients on fatigue and sleep
quality.
METHOD: It was designed as a parallel group randomized controlled study. Reporting of the
study will adhere to the CONSORT scheme for parallel group randomized trials.
Management:In the current hemodialysis unit, patients receive hemodialysis treatment in bed.
In the study, ROM application will be applied on the same day of hemodialysis treatment. In
the literature, it is recommended to apply exercise for 15 minutes in the first 2 hours of
the hemodialysis session. Since patients experience fluid accumulation in the body before
hemodialysis begins, such excess fluids should be removed within 4-5 hours. This rapid
release of fluids from the body can sometimes lead to hemodynamic changes and symptoms such
as hypotension or cramping. Because Based on the literature review recommendations of
specialist physicians and nurses, the best time for intervention will be considered 30
minutes after the start of dialysis and during the first 2 hours of dialysis .
In this study, considering the existing literature, it was planned to apply range of motion
exercises to patients twice a week, for 12 weeks and for 15 minutes. Range of motion
exercises include wrist rotation (clockwise and counterclockwise), wrist flexion and
extension. elbow joint full flexion and extension; rotating ankles (clockwise and
counterclockwise); and full flexion and extension of the ankles will be performed. Each
movement will be made 20 rounds per minute. The co-investigator will have the intervention
group undergo ROM and supervise them during hemodialysis. The investigator will pay attention
to the comfort of the patients and whether they experience problems such as shortness of
breath, fatigue or nausea during the intervention .
Before ROM exercises, the patients in the intervention group will be checked for blood
pressure and pulse.
Control group patients will be given routine treatment and care. After the research is
completed, ROM exercises will be performed on the control group.
Application:
When the implementation phase of the research begins, the purpose of the research will be
explained and written/verbal consent will be obtained.
