Patients were homogenously divided into intervention (nature sound group n=25 and music group n=25) and control (n=25) groups on the basis of age, gender and hemodialysis duration. Patients in the intervention group were subjected to nature sounds/music during the hemodialysis procedure, while patients in the control group were not subjected to any intervention during the procedure.
