Primary outcome measure(s)
Hemodialysis Comfort Scale-Version II — Change in comfort at the beginning of the intervention and at the end of the second week and at the end of the fourth week Due to the insufficient number of items in the previously developed Hemodialysis Comfort Scale Koşar and colleagues developed the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale -Version II (HDCS-II) scale was developed by Koşar and colleagues, and the same authors conducted validity and reliability studies. The scale consists of 26 items, and the responses to the items are prepared on a five-point Likert scale: never, very rarely, sometimes, very often, always.The scale has six subscales: physical relief, physical relaxation, psychospiritual relaxation, psychospiritual empowerment, environmental empowerment, and sociocultural relaxation. While the scale includes both reverse-scored and forward-scored items, the number of reverse-scored items is predominant. As the score on the scale increases, the patient's comfort also increases.
Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOLTM-SF 36.1.3) — Change in comfort at the beginning of the intervention and at the end of the fourth week The Turkish reliability and validity of the scale developed by Hayy et al. (1994) was established by Yıldırım et al. (2007). The scale consists of 36 items divided into 5 dimensions. These subdimensions are symptom/problem list (12 items), impact of kidney disease (8 items), and burden of kidney disease (4 items). The Likert method is used for scoring each item. Scores range from 0 to 100 in each dimension.
