Brief Summary:
This study carried out in the HD unit of a large-scale training and research hospital, and at a dialysis center associated with this hospital located in Ankara, Turkey. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms.
Arm 1: Intervention group Arm 2: Control group Hypothesis 1. The HD patients in the 8-week intervention of BRT combined with music therapy will report lower fatigue scores than those in the control group.
Hypothesis 2. The HD patients in the 8-week intervention of BRT combined with music therapy will perceive lower anxiety and depression than those in the control group.
Detailed Description:
Patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment are susceptible to many complications. The inadequate stress-coping strategies render them vulnerable to high symptom burden and impaired quality of life. Patients are given conventional treatments to stop or slow down the progress of nephron destruction and prevent complications associated with uremia. However, previous studies observed that these therapies may be limited in alleviating fatigue, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, and may pose severe side effects. Therefore, in recent years patients have shown enhanced tendency to use complementary and integrative approaches including aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage, music, and relaxation to provide better control on their health and treatment process, feeling better physically, and emotionally, and as well as improve quality of life. The present study investigates the effects of Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy in two-centered, 2-arm, assessor blinded randomized, controlled study of 61 hemodialysis patients.
Arm 1: Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy ; Arm 2: control. The investigators hypothesize that Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy will decrease severity of fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
