Brief Summary

This study determined the effect of dietary education given to hemodialysis patients on dietary treatment and symptoms.

Detailed Description

Diet therapy is a part of the treatment of hemodialysis patients. In order for the treatment to be effective, it is necessary to comply with the diet. Non-compliance with diet treatment affects the symptoms experienced by the patient, resulting in morbidity, low quality of life and mortality. Knowing patients' compliance with diet therapy is important in ensuring symptom control. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of diet therapy on symptom management in hemodialysis patients.
