Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Benson relaxation combined with music therapy

In the first interview, the patient information delivered a training booklet explaining the definition, purpose, benefits and application techniques of BRT and music therapy to the patients in the intervention group. After patients reviewed the details in the training booklet, a weekly schedule was planned for each patient based on their hemodialysis days. For the initiation of the intervention, patients were invited to the hemodialysis unit at the hospital 45 min prior to their hemodialysis sessions. All the participants wore black eye patches to provide a dim environment and to focus better on their breath and the music piece. Then, the patients information opened the music piece and gave Benson Relaxation Technique comments in a slightly lower voice. Each session lasted for 20 min, and the music piece was switched off as Benson Relaxation Technique ended. The music piece used in the study was Daniel Kobelco's non-verbal classical song.
