Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Hemodialysis Comfort Scale

  The scale developed by Sahin Orak and his colleagues in 2017 consists of nine items and two sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions are; "Relaxation" (7-9) and "Overcoming" (1- 6). The scale is a five-point Likert type (1: never -5: always). Items 1-3 and 5-9 of the scale are reverse coded. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 9, the highest score is 45. The higher the score, the higher the comfort level.

  Up to 4 weeks

• Piper Fatigue Scale

  The scale was developed by Barbara F. Piper and her friends in 1987 and adapted to Turkish by Can and her friends in 2001. The scale consists of 22 items and four sub-dimensions. These are; "Behavior/Violence" (2-7); "Affect" (8-12), "Sensory" (5 items; 13-17) and "Cognitive/Psychological" (18-23). In addition to this, there are five items (1 and 24-27) that are not used in calculating the fatigue score, but are recommended to remain in the scale because they are important in evaluating data related to fatigue. The scale is evaluated using a 0-10 Vizuel Analog Scale. The total score obtained from the scale is divided by the number of items. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0, and the maximum score is 10. The higher the score, the more fatigue the individual feels.

Study Arms (2)

Massage Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the intervention group will receive post-hemodialysis massage twice a week for four weeks.

Other: Massage

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Routine nursing care was given to the patients in this group without any message.

Interventions

Massage OTHER

After the hemodialysis, the patients will receive a 15-20 minute hand and foot massage. This application will be applied to the patients in two weekly dialysis sessions for a total of 8 sessions for four weeks. Before starting the massage applications, the patient's hands and feet will be washed and dried thoroughly. The patients will be given a semi-sitting or lying position that they can feel comfortable in. Before starting the hand and foot massage, the researcher will gently rub and warm their hands and wrists. The massages will start with a hand massage. A foot massage will be performed after the hand massage. 3-5 drops of baby oil applied at room temperature will be used to reduce friction during the massage. Effleurage, petrissage and friction styles of the massage will be applied.
