Postdialysis Fatigue and Comfort Levels of Patients Receiving Hemodialysis Treatment

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
