Brief Summary:
This pretest-posttest randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of warm salt water and warm water bath applied to the hands and feet on pain, fatigue, sleep quality, and functional capacity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The study consisted of three groups. These groups consisted of two intervention groups and one control group. As a result of the power analysis, it was determined that 54 people should be reached. Visual Analog Scale, Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multidimensional Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Health Assessment Questionnaire were used in the study. Patients in intervention groups applied a 41°C warm salt and warm water bath three times a week for six weeks in line with the training given. The patients in the control group did not undergo any intervention other than routine treatment and care.

Detailed Description:
The study was conducted at Gulhane Training and Research Hospital Rheumatology Polyclinic, in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 54 patients. Eighteen patients in the warm saltwater group were trained using the video demonstration method to make the intervention. Eighteen patients in the lukewarm water group were trained using the video demonstration method to make the intervention. Eighteen patients in the control group were not given any training other than their routine treatment and care. Each patient's pain, fatigue, sleep quality, and functional capacities were measured 24 hours before the intervention. The study lasted six weeks for each patient. The patients in the intervention group performed their interventions three times a week, every other day. The patients were checked by calling every week by phone. Pain, fatigue, sleep quality, and functional capacity of each patient were measured within one week at the latest, after the end of the practices.
