Filter by:VR, with its developing technology, is a new technique used in the healthcare industry combined with cognitive technology to reduce the symptoms experienced by patients and to relieve the patient. This study investigates whether virtual tour environments created using virtual reality glasses have an effect on patients' vital signs, symptoms and comfort during the hemodialysis session. It is aimed to evaluate the effect of Virtual Reality Based Videos applied during hemodialysis treatment on Hemodialysis Symptoms, vital signs and Comfort.
Finding the effect of core stability exercises with breathing exercises on Activities of daily living (ADLs), fatigue level and balance in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of royal jelly on inflammation and cellular senescence in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD).
The goal of this Cross-sectional study is to detect hypertensive patients with hemodialysis in Sohag University Hospital and controlled patients and noncontrolled patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the pattern of blood pressure control among patients receiving hemodialysis? 2. What are factors associated with successful blood pressure control? 3. What is the level of patient knowledge and awareness regarding blood pressure management? 4. What are the challenges and barriers faced by patients in achieving optimal blood pressure control? Participants Blood pressure calculated by taking the average of three consecutive days measurement.
This study aims to examine the effect of hand massage on patients receiving HD treatment on the severity of post-dialysis fatigue and post-dialysis recovery time.
The goal of this clinical study is to adapt mindfulness-based nursing interventions to hemodialysis patients and to investigate their effects on their psychosocial adjustment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Do consciously applied nursing interventions increase the psychosocial adjustment to the disease in hemodialysis patients? Do mindfulness-based nursing interventions increase body and mind awareness in hemodialysis patients? Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see if mindfulness-based interventions have an effect on the psycho-social adjustment of hemodialysis patients.
It was planned to examine the effect of fistula-related education given to patients receiving hemodialysis treatment on their self-care behaviors. Nurse-led education about fistula for hemodialysis patients affects fistula self-care behaviors. Nurse-led training regarding fistula to hemodialysis patients does not affect fistula self-care behaviors.
The goal of this Prospective Observational Study of comparative effectiveness is to provide real world evidence of the effect of Etelcalcetide in increasing actives form VKDPs levels such as BGP and MGP at 3, 9 and 18 months from baseline, with resulting correct bone mineralization and inhibition vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients. The study will enroll 160 hemodialysis patients: 80 patients treated with Etelcalcetide and 80 age and sex matched patients treated with Calcitriol or vitamin D analogs. The treating nephrologist will base the target dose of Etelcalcetide on individual-level in order to achieve the KDIGO PTH target. In the Etelcalcetide-treated group, the addition of calcitriol will be allowed when required by clinical practice (for correction of hypocalcemia). The main endpoint is the comparison of the levels of active forms of VKDP (MGP and BGP) between patients treated with Etelcalcetide and those treated with vitamin D or vitamin D analogues. The measurements of the biomarkers are scheduled at baseline and after 3, 9, and 18 months.
A fundamental strategy to improve adherence to nutritional treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease is the implementation of educational programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary educational program on dietary adherence, nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, metabolic control and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease, predialysis, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out, in which patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to three possible groups: predialysis educational intervention, dialysis educational intervention and control group. At the initial visit, the nutritional status will be evaluated by means of anthropometric parameters, screening and dynamometry, the biochemical parameters of interest will be extracted from the clinical record, nutritional knowledge and quality of life will be evaluated, and the diet will be explained. In the second visit, adherence to the diet will be evaluated and the food registry will be carried out. In the intervention groups, the educational program will begin with a duration of five months. Patients will come twice a month to the hospital to participate in the educational sessions and attend group psychology sessions. After completion of the educational program, the same measurements as at the beginning of the study will be carried out in the three groups.
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.
