Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of range of motion and Benson relaxation exercises applied to patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment on dialysis adequacy, treatment adherence, and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Hemodialysis Patients

Interventions

OTHER

Range of Motion Intervention (ROMI)

Procedure Steps: * The patient is evaluated for factors that may affect the procedure (restricted movement, presence of fistula, history of surgery, etc.). • The patient is placed in the supine position. • Movements are performed from head to toe. • Each movement is repeated 3-5 times. • With the patient's head and chin supported, the following movements are performed sequentially: flexion, extension, hyperextension, right lateral flexion, left lateral flexion, right rotation, and left rotation of the head. * The patient's shoulder is supported. Without bending the elbow, the following movements are performed sequentially: flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, internal and external rotation. The same movements are performed sequentially for the forearm, wrist, and fingers. * All movements are performed sequentially for the other arm, hip, and both legs.

OTHER

Benson Relaxation Exercise Intervention (BREI)

Procedure Steps: * The patient is asked to choose a word that is important to them and that they can focus their attention on (health, well-being, love, affection, God, etc.), a prayer, or a short sentence. * They are asked to close their eyes in a calm environment and in a comfortable position. * They are asked to slowly relax their muscles from foot to head (foot, calf, thigh, abdomen, chest, shoulder, neck, and head). • They are asked to breathe in through their nose and repeat the chosen word as they exhale. * They are asked to continue the procedure for 10-20 minutes. They are informed that they can open their eyes occasionally to monitor the time, but they should not set an alarm. • After the procedure is complete, they are asked to wait a few minutes with their eyes closed. Then, they are asked to wait a few minutes with their eyes open. • The patient is informed that they should not worry about whether they performed the procedure correctly.
