Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of mobile-based education and counseling developed for hemodialysis patients on the symptoms experienced and the adaptation to the disease.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Measure

  The effect of mobile-based application and counseling on symptom management will be measured in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Patient Information Form and Dialysis Symptom Index will be used for measurement. The dialysis symptom scale includes 30 symptoms that describe physical or emotional symptoms. The patient responds to the symptoms he has experienced in the last week as yes-no, no, he/she answers that he/she has not experienced the symptom, and if yes, he/she has the symptom. If your answer is yes, the extent to which this symptom affects the patient is evaluated with a five-point Likert type scale. It is evaluated and scored as 1=none, 5=very much. After the obtained scores are summed, the total scale score is obtained. The scale point ranges from 0-150. The fact that the total score approaches 150 indicates that the effect of the symptom has increased.
