Abstract
Abstract: Background: Hemodialysis causes symptoms such as pain, disturbed sleep quality and impaired ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). Purpose: To evaluate the effect of BRT on symptomatic management of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Design: A quasi-experimental research design (Study & control) was utilized for this study. Setting: The current study was conducted at Hemodialysis unit of Menoufia University and Shebin El-Kom teaching hospitals. Sample: A consecutive sample of 100 patients who met the inclusion criteria was selected and divided into two groups (study & control) 50 patients in each group. Instruments: Four instruments were used for data collection: Structured interview questionnaire, Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS), the Groningen Sleep Quality Scale (GSQS) and Nottingham Extended Activitıes of Daily Living (NEADL) scale. Results: The study found a very highly statistical significant difference between the study group and control group in favor of study group in terms of pain intensity, sleep quality and ability to perform ADL with (p value <0.001) two weeks post-intervention. Conclusions: The study found that BRT is an effective non-pharmacological technique in reducing pain intensity, improving sleep quality and enhancing patient's ability to perform ADL for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Recommendations: Applying BRT for patients undergoing hemodialysis, in addition to routine hospital care is recommended for patients undergoing hemodialysis.
