Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how itching impacts sleep quality and comfort in hemodialysis (HD) and renal transplant patients.
- It involved 42 HD patients and 49 renal transplant patients across four hospitals in Istanbul and utilized various questionnaires to assess itching, sleep quality, and comfort.
- Results showed that itching negatively affects sleep and comfort in both groups, with significant differences favoring renal transplant patients, indicating that monitoring and managing itching during treatment is essential for improving patient well-being.
Background: Protective isolation remains part of the standard of care for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant in many places of the world. The consequences of protective isolation include increased anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of creative interventions performed during the protective isolation period on anxiety, depression symptoms, and sleep quality of patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT).
Introduction: The aim of this study was to translate, linguistically validate, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Shortened Xerostomia Inventory (SXI) among Turkish patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: The study was conducted with 81 chronic HD patients in the HD units of two state hospitals between June and August 2020. Explanatory factor analysis was implemented to test the construct validity.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of nurses' occupational safety perceptions on the level of job satisfaction.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Acibadem Healthcare Group hospitals in Turkey from January 15 to February 15, 2018, and comprised of professional nurses. Data was collected using the Job Satisfaction Scale and the Occupational Health and Safety Culture Scale.
Aim: Haemodialysis (HD) commonly leads to postdialysis fatigue (PDF) and, thus, worsens the quality of life and the clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to translate, linguistically validate and determine the psychometric properties of the "Postdialysis Fatigue" Scale for Turkish patients with HD.
Study Design: A methodological study.
