Abstract

Aim: In this study aimed to determine postdialysis fatigue and comfort levels in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment and the factors affecting them.
Material and Method: The study is a descriptive and cross-sectional research. It was completed with 112 patients receiving regular hemodialysis treatment. Patient Evaluation Form, Postdialysis Fatigue Scale and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale were used to collect data.
Results: The mean score of the Postdialysis Fatigue Scale was 35.73 ± 11.80. The mean score of the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale was 24.57 ± 8.91. There was a negative correlation between the Postdialysis Fatigue Scale score and the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale score of the patients (r=-0.558, p=0.000). The results of the multiple regression analysis were significant predictors of the presence of complaints between two dialysis, postdialysis blood pressure levels and postdialysis fatigue level of comfort levels (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Postdialysis fatigue and comfort level were above average. Postdialysis fatigue negatively affects the comfort of patients. While the presence of symptoms in patients between two dialysis sessions decreased comfort, the decrease in blood pressure after dialysis increased the comfort level. Postdialysis fatigue and comfort should be routinely evaluated in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment by nurses. Postdialysis fatigue should not be underestimated.

Hemodiyaliz Tedavisi Gören Hastaların Diyaliz Sonrası Yorgunluk ve Konfor Düzeyleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, hemodiyaliz tedavisi gören hastaların diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk ve konfor düzeyleri ve bunları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir araştırmadır. Çalışma, düzenli hemodiyaliz tedavisi gören 112 hasta ile tamamlandı. Verilerin toplanmasında Hasta Değerlendirme Formu, Diyaliz Sonrası Yorgunluk Ölçeği ve Hemodiyaliz Konfor Ölçeği kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Diyaliz Sonrası Yorgunluk Ölçeği'nin ortalama puanı 35.73 ± 11.80 idi. Hemodiyaliz Konfor Ölçeği ortalama puanı 24.57 ± 8.91 idi. Hastaların diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk ölçeği puanı ile Hemodiyaliz Konfor Ölçeği puanı arasında negatif bir ilişki vardı (r=-0.558, p=0.000). Çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçları, iki diyaliz arasında şikayet varlığı, diyaliz sonrası kan basıncı düzeyi ve diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk düzeyi konforun anlamlı yordayıcısıydı (p< 0.05).
Sonuç: Diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk ve konfor düzeyi ortalamanın üzerindeydi. Diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk hastaların konforunu olumsuz etkilemektedir. Hastalarda iki diyaliz seansı arasında semptomların varlığı konforu azaltırken, diyaliz sonrası kan basıncının azalması konfor düzeyini artırdı. Hemodiyaliz tedavisi alan hastalarda diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk ve konfor hemşireler tarafından rutin olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Diyaliz sonrası yorgunluk hafife alınmamalıdır.
