Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of mobile-based education and counseling developed for hemodialysis patients on the symptoms experienced and the adaptation to the disease.
Detailed Description
Patients with end-stage renal disease are faced with many symptoms both during the disease and during the hemodialysis treatment process. Likewise, this process brings with it problems of adaptation to the disease. Experiencing intense symptoms negatively affects compliance with the disease and hemodialysis treatment, and compliance problems complicate symptom management. Therefore, patients need information support that can increase symptom management and compliance. Considering today's technology, this information can be provided by mobile phone, especially due to ease of use and fast transportation. In order for patients to access accurate information and receive consultancy from experts, appropriate software and sustainable mobile applications must be included in the disease management process. Today, mobile applications are an integral part of daily life for millions of users worldwide and are increasingly used to receive and communicate fast and interactive information about various chronic diseases. With the mobile-based training and counseling to be applied in this study, it is aimed to enable patients receiving hemodialysis treatment to access professional information support more easily, to better manage the symptoms they experience due to the disease, and to increase their adaptation to the disease. For this reason, the effect of mobile-based training and counseling developed for patients receiving hemodialysis treatment on the symptoms experienced by the patients and their adaptation to the disease will be evaluated in this study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Measure
Time Frame: 0-3 months
The effect of mobile-based application and counseling on symptom management will be measured in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Patient Information Form and Dialysis Symptom Index will be used for measurement. The dialysis symptom scale includes 30 symptoms that describe physical or emotional symptoms. The patient responds to the symptoms he has experienced in the last week as yes-no, no, he/she answers that he/she has not experienced the symptom, and if yes, he/she has the symptom. If your answer is yes, the extent to which this symptom affects the patient is evaluated with a five-point Likert type scale. It is evaluated and scored as 1=none, 5=very much. After the obtained scores are summed, the total scale score is obtained. The scale point ranges from 0-150. The fact that the total score approaches 150 indicates that the effect of the symptom has increased.
