No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pain in patients under hemodialysis affects chronic renal patients' quality of life. Distraction has been effective in controlling pain induced by the insertion of needles. Once applied adequately, distraction promotes endorphins' release, with efficacy in acute pain. This study aims to evaluate pain perception while puncturing the hemodialysis device using an anti-stress ball as a distraction strategy.

Conditions

  • Renal Dialysis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Distraction technique
