The quality of life and comfort levels of hemodialysis patients with constipation: A descriptive and cross-sectional study.

Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the constipation-related quality of life, bowel habits, and comfort levels of constipated hemodialysis patients. It is known that the prevalence of constipation is high in hemodialysis patients.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional and correlational study.

Do biochemical parameters and intradialytic symptoms affect post-dialysis recovery time? A prospective, descriptive study.

The recovery time is defined as the time required to recover from the feelings of lassitude and fatigue. The daily activities of patients are affected by dialysis sessions, requiring significant time for patients to return to their routines. This situation implies a lower quality of life for HD patients.

Intradialytic hypotension prevalence, influencing factors, and nursing interventions: prospective results of 744 hemodialysis sessions.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate intradialytic hypotension (IDH) prevalence, influencing factors, and nursing interventions in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted at a private dialysis center. The patients were followed-up in terms of IDH development based on the European Best Practice Guidelines criteria during six consecutive HD sessions.

Does Adequate Hemodialysis Prevent Symptoms?: A National Cross-Sectional Survey.

The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between dialysis adequacy and the incidence of symptoms in subjects treated with HD. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted at two HD centers. The data were collected with the 'Descriptive Characteristics Form of the Participants' and the 'Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI)'.
