Filter by:It is known that being in nature and the visual perception of nature positively affects an individual's mood and self-confidence. Studies have reported that natural sounds have a positive effect in situations such as pain, anxiety, and stress. This finding means that listening to natural sounds may be a simple and easily accessible intervention that can positively impact key human stress systems. Although many non-pharmacological methods are used in the literature to reduce the invasive pain and anxiety experienced by hemodialysis (HD) patients during cannulation, the most popular recently; However, we aimed to determine the effect of the sound of running water, which we have not yet encountered in dialysis patients, on invasive pain and anxiety experienced during fistula access.
Chronic renal failure is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and in our country. Hemodialysis is the most commonly used treatment method in the treatment of chronic renal failure. In addition to its important benefits, hemodialysis treatment causes many problems such as fatigue, bone and joint pain, insomnia, mood disorders, sexual problems, paresthesia and nausea. In addition, patient comfort is adversely affected due to physical, psychosocial and environmental problems in hemodialysis patients. Elimination of symptoms in hemodialysis patients and ensuring patient comfort are important components of quality nursing care. For this purpose, it is reported that non-pharmacological evidence-based approaches such as listening to music, yoga, and exercise are used in the literature. Although there are studies examining the effectiveness of listening to music, the number of studies examining the effectiveness of nature-based sounds in hemodialysis patients is quite limited. It is known that sounds such as bird, ocean, water, wind sound have beneficial effects on human health in terms of physiological and psychosocial aspects. This project is to determine the effect of listening to nature sounds during hemodialysis treatment on fatigue and patient comfort. Type of Study: The project was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. Population and Sample: The population of the study consists of patients who are treated in the Hemodialysis Unit of Bartin State Hospital. The sample was taken as d=0.80 power=0.90, α=0.05 and β=0.20, taking into account the data obtained from a similar study, and it was calculated as 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group, in total 60 patients. Inclusion criteria for the study: - To be receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least 6 months, - Being over 18 years old, - Not having a hearing and speaking disability, - Not have a cognitive disability. Exclusion criteria from the study: - Receiving hemodialysis treatment for less than 6 months, - Do not listen to the nature-based audio application for 30 minutes - Being under the age of 18, - Hearing and speech impairment, - Having a cognitive disability.
The research was conducted as an experimental research to determine the effect of mandala painting on pain, anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
The aim of this study is to assess how guided self-determination method affects adherence to treatment, fluid control, self-efficacy, anxiety level and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. The population of the study consisted of patients who received HD treatment at Private Eskişehir Anatolian Dialysis Center and Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health, Practice and Research Hospital Dialysis Unit between April 2022 and October 2022. The sample of the study was 65 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the specified population. Individual Identification Form, Biological/Biochemical Data Form, End Stage Renal Failure Compliance Scale, Hemodialysis Patients Fluid Control Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale Short Form were used to collect research data.
Hemodialysis; It is the process of returning the liquid and solute content of the blood taken from the patient to the patient as a result of rearrangement by means of a membrane and with the help of a machine. A permanent vascular access that can be used for months or years is required for HD treatment to be sufficient for patients with end-stage renal disease to survive and improve their quality of life. For this reason, patients who will be treated for HD need to have an arterio-venous fistula (AVF), graft or catheter to ensure adequate blood flow. CRF patients treated with HD are exposed to 300-320 AVF cannulations per year on average. The size and length of the diameter of the fistula needles, the piercing process created in the skin, the advancement of the needles into the tissue during the procedure, the entry angle of the needles and the entry techniques cause the patients to experience pain during the procedure. Non-pharmacological methods frequently used in pain control include many applications such as distraction, massage, hot and cold application, aromatherapy. Distraction, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, is a method that enables patients to focus their attention on a different point and to control and reduce the symptoms they experience. Methods such as listening to music, taking pictures, watching television, solving puzzles, daydreaming, deep breathing and coughing exercises, sphygmomanometer blowing, active listening, tapping, inflating balloons, distraction cards and using virtual reality glasses are used for this purpose. With the virtual reality glasses, the individual gets away from the environment with the glasses connected to the device worn on his head and the sounds coming from the headset, concentrates his attention on the image he watches and feels like he is in another world thanks to these five-dimensional glasses. The most basic feature that distinguishes virtual reality glasses from similar applications is that it gives people a real feeling. Virtual reality glasses, which are easy to apply and use, have no side effects, and can be effective in physical, psychological and social recovery, are an initiative that can be preferred in health applications. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of using virtual reality glasses on pain during fistula cannulation applied to hemodialysis patients. The hypotheses of the research; H₀: The use of virtual reality glasses is not effective in reducing the severity of pain. H1: The use of virtual reality glasses reduces the severity of pain.
The proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the effect of acupuncture treatment on the functional capacity (FC) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients receiving maintenance dialysis. A total of 60 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) from a dialysis centre (Portugal), were randomly assigned to acupuncture, sham and control group.
This study is designed to provide a simple, home-based, low-moderate intensity exercise program in chronic renal disease patients who are undergoing hemodialysis in order to improve physical performance, decrease the level of fatigue and eventually increase quality of life in patients. A randomized control trial will be conducted including patients on hemodialysis, who will be randomly allocated to interventional and control groups. Both the groups will receive six weeks of treatment, 3 times per week. Data will be collected at baseline, 3rd week and 6th week. Outcome measures include assessment of physical functioning including six-minute walk test, standing balance, 4-metre gait speed, chair stand, fatigue assessment scale and quality of life in kidney disease patients on hemodialysis.
A clinical study to investigate the pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics and safety/tolerability of Evogliptin in hemodialysis patients
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of laughter yoga on HD patients' plasma beta endorphin levels, pain levels and sleep quality.
Hemodialysis patients face many problems related to disease and treatment, fatigue is stated as the most common of these problems. Therefore, The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hand massage and foot massage on fatigue in hemodialysis patients.
