The effects of Benson relaxation technique on activities of daily living in hemodialysis patients; A single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial study.

Background And Purpose: Many patients with renal failure due to the chronic nature of the disease and prolonged dialysis treatment experience dramatically reduced ability to perform daily living activities (ADLs). This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of Benson relaxation technique (BRT) on ADLs in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Materials And Methods: This single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial study was conducted among 65 hemodialysis patients.
