Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• fatigue severity

  Fatigue severity was evaluated before starting the application (pre-test) Post-Dialysis Fatigue Scale: Kodama et al. The "Post-Dialysis Fatigue Scale" developed by (2020) is a five-item likert type scale consisting of 13 items. The scale is used to evaluate the severity of fatigue by examining the factors associated with fatigue observed after the end of treatment in dialysis patients. According to Özen et al. (2021) the total number of items in the scale after Turkish validity and reliability made by is 11.

  one week= first session

• recovery time

  Recovery time after dialysis was evaluated before starting the application (pre-test)

  One week= first session

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• fatique severity

  After 4 weeks

• recovery time after dialysis

  After 4 weeks
