Brief Summary:
The research was planned to measure pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction with ice massage applied to the fistula before the arteriovenous fistula procedure in hemodialysis patients. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be given ice massage before the procedure and the relevant parameters will be measured.
Detailed Description:
Chronic renal failure is a condition that causes irreversible damage to kidney functions and prevents the excretion of metabolic wastes through urine. In the treatment of the disease; renal replacement therapies and kidney transplant options are available. The most commonly used treatment in end-stage renal failure patients is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is performed through catheters and fistula channels. Patients receiving hemodialysis treatment through fistula are connected to the dialysis device. For this procedure, an injection occurs 2 or 3 times a week. It is a distressing situation for patients that needle insertion is painful during the procedure and that conditions such as ecchymosis and hematoma frequently occur afterwards. In this study, cold application was planned in a pre-test post-test design to evaluate pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction. Volunteer participants who receive hemodialysis treatment through fistula will receive an ice massage for an average of 3-5 minutes on the fistula area where the needle will be inserted before the procedure.
