Completed

• Conditions: Relational Problems; Hemodialysis; Despondency
• Interventions: Other: surveys and questionnaires

• Registration Number: NCT05274399
• Lead Sponsor: Muş Alparlan University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between hopelessness level and self-care agency in patient receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Detailed Description

While the symptoms and signs that occur as a result of renal failure can be controlled with hemodialysis treatment, the reasons such as the nature of the disease, disease-related symptoms, treatment period and patients' dependency on the hemodialysis machine due to this treatment lead to many physical and psychological problems in the patients. Patients undergoing hemodialysis face physical problems such as becoming dependent, impairment of the socio-economic status, inability to fulfill their role in the society, and changes in work life and various psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, isolation, rejection of the disease, delusions, and hallucinations. it is hoped that this study aiming to determine whether or not there is a correlation between hopelessness level and self-care agency of hemodialysis patients would make a great contribution to the limited available literature.
