简要总结
Sleep problems are common in people undergoing dialysis treatment due to kidney failure. Methods other than medication can be used to improve this condition. For example, reflexology, a foot massage technique, and sleep training can be helpful.
This study investigated the effects of reflexology and sleep training on sleep quality and comfort in dialysis patients in Cyprus.
The results showed that both reflexology and sleep training improved patients' sleep and overall comfort. However, reflexology was found to be more effective than the other methods.
Objective:
To improve sleep quality and comfort in dialysis patients.
Method:
Reflexology (foot massage) and sleep training were applied.
Findings:
Both methods improved sleep and comfort.
Conclusion:
Reflexology was found to be more effective than sleep training.

主要结局
The Effect of Reflexology and Sleep Hygiene Training on Sleep Quality and Comfort Level in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment
时间窗: Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before (baseline) the intervention and after an 8-week challenge period.

时间窗: Baseline and 8 weeks
Sleep Quality will be assessed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
时间窗: Baseline and 8 weeks
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was developed by Daniel J. Buysse et al. in 1989. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Mehmet Yavuz Ağargün et al. The PSQI is a widely used instrument that evaluates individuals' sleep quality and distinguishes between "good sleepers" and "poor sleepers." The PSQI consists of 18 items and seven components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored on a 0-3 scale, and the sum of the component scores yields a total score ranging from 0 to 21. A total score of ≥5 indicates poor sleep quality.
