简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of warm water foot baths on comfort, fatigue, and dialysis symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected with a total of 58 patients,31 in the intervention group and 27 in the placebo group. The data in the study is collected using the intervention and control group informed volunteer Form, Patient Demonstration Form, foot Bath Application Monitoring Chart, fatigue VAS Scale Form, dialysis Symptom Index, and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale.
详细描述
After obtaining the necessary permissions for the work to be performed, the researcher explained the purpose of working, and the researcher took the purpose of the work. The voluntary consent of the individuals was provided in verbal and written writing.
The researcher discussed the health team in dialysis centers to ensure that the study was carried out systematically and regularly, providing information on the purpose of the study. The forms to be applied to patients are filled by the researcher using the method of a face-to-face interview and the records obtained from the patient files.
Procedures administered to control groups:
Patients in the control group have been informed about the voluntary Form, Patient Demonstration Form, fatigue VAS Scale Form, dialysis Symptom Index, and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale performed by the researcher in person. At this stage, no attempt was made to the control group at the end of the fourth week; during the last hemodialysis session, the researcher, with the fatigue VAS Scale Form, the dialysis Symptom Index and the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale face-to-face, treated the patients.
Procedures administered to intervention groups:

结局指标
主要结局
Fatigue VAS Scale Form
时间窗: One mounth. Fatigue levels are at the end of the process and 4 before the application begins. During the last hemodialysis session of the week, fatigue was evaluated by the VAS Scale Form.
The rating of fatigue levels has been expressed to patients that there is no fatigue for 0 points. In comparison, 10 points indicate fatigue is very severe and are questioned how many points they have given to patients for fatigue levels.
Dialysis Symptom Index
时间窗: One mounth. In the first week of the trial and 4 weeks later
DSI contains 30 symptoms that define a specific physical or emotional symptom. Symptoms in the last seven days have been answered as yes-no, and no indicates no symptoms, and yes, that symptom has occurred. If the patient's response is yes, how much the symptom affects is evaluated by a five-type Likert scale. 1 = none, 5 = too many ratings are made. Total scale points are collected. This value varies between 0 and 150. The total scores received show an increase in the effect of the symptom mentioned as approaching 150.
Hemodialysis Comfort Scale
时间窗: One mounth. In the first week of the trial and 4 weeks later
Falcon Orak and Ark. Hemodialysis Comfort Scale (HCS), developed in 2017, with validity reliability, is a reliable scale used to assess the comfort of patients who have had hemodialysis treatment for at least six months. The hemodialysis Comfort Scale is a five-type liquid scale and consists of 9 substances and 2 sub-dimensions. T HCS can score at least 9.00 points and up to 45.00 points; 3.00 points can be achieved at least 15.00 points maximum, relax Alt-size; at least 7.00 points and up to 30.00 points can be obtained from the bottom dimension that is defeated. The increase in the value obtained indicates the level of comfort.
