简要总结
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mandala painting on the comfort level of patients receiving HD treatment.
详细描述
The number of patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is constantly increasing and the most common method used in the treatment of these patients is hemodialysis (HD). HD is the process of passing the blood taken from the patient through the HD device, regulating fluid and electrolytes, and cleaning waste products such as urea. The aim of this process is to prevent complications, strengthen self-care, and thus increase the patient's quality of life and ensure their comfort. However, patients who receive HD treatment have to deal with various problems. This situation negatively affects the comfort of the HD patient. In addition, many factors such as constantly going to a dialysis center for the HD procedure, restriction of movements during the HD session, and disruption of work harmony and social relationships reduce the comfort of the patients. Therefore, ensuring the comfort of the HD patient is very important. A number of integrative methods are recommended to increase comfort. One of these methods, mandala, is effectively used in the field of art therapy. Mandala, which has a long history and represents integrity, is a Sanskrit word that means "circle" or completion and increases the individual's personal awareness. According to art psychotherapists, mandala painting is one of the main tools of other art psychotherapy techniques that focus on healing. Mindfulness-based activities such as drawing or painting mandalas allow the person to keep their attention in the "moment", make sense of what they have MINIMIDAted, increase their well-being and feel more comfortable. Mandala, which is a concentration method, helps the person stay in the moment. Energy and emotions can also change with the effects of the colors used. It is also emphasized that mandala painting contributes to symptom management, can be used in all age groups and has a positive effect on the treatment process of different diseases and disorders. The natural calming effect of mandala on the mind and body not only strengthens the desire to heal, but also helps the person get rid of psychological fragmentation. In line with these data, it is thought that activities such as mandala can be effective in HD patients who are faced with a large number of stress factors. Therefore, the effect of mandala painting on the comfort level of patients receiving HD treatment was evaluated in this study.

结局指标
主要结局
Hemodialysis Comfort Scale Version-II
时间窗: At the beginning and at the end of the 17th day
Due to the insufficient number of items in the previously developed Hemodialysis Comfort Scale, Koşar and colleagues developed the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale-Version II (HDKÖ-II) scale and its validity and reliability study was conducted by the same authors. The scale consists of 26 items and the responses to the items were prepared in a five-point Likert type as never, very rarely, sometimes, very often, always. The scale has six sub-dimensions as physical relief, physical relaxation, psychospiritual relaxation, psychospiritual empowerment, environmental empowerment, and sociocultural relaxation. Although there are reverse and direct scored items in the scale, the number of reverse scored items is high. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the patient's comfort also increases.
