dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure. The study was conducted as an analytic study in two dialysis units (a state and a private unit). Data was collected from 90 patients 18 year old or over who underwent hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure and agreed to participate in the research. A "Patient Information Form" was used to obtain information about the patients' socio-demographic and disease-related characteristics and the "Visual Analog Scale" was used to determine the patients' level of fatigue in the pre-dialysis, during the dialysis treatment and in the postdialysis period. It was found that the patients had been diagnosed with renal failure for 6.4±4.9 years, 30% had been under hemodialysis treatment for 4-6 years, 84.4% received dialysis treatment three times or more in a week, 68.9% had another chronic disease. It was also determined that the patients suffered from fatigue by 52.2% in the pre-dialysis period, by 43.3% during the dialysis application and by 84.4 in the post-dialysis period. A significant positive relationship was found between the patients' age and their fatigue score means in the postdialysis period (r:0.36 p<0.01). It was found that the patients receiving hemodialysis treatment had higher levels of fatigue particularly in the post-dialysis period and their fatigue in the pre-dialysis, during the dialysis treatment and in the post-dialysis period affected their daily lives. It was concluded that preparing education programs for the patients' post-hemodialysis fatigue management and arranging weekly patient group meetings for them to share their experiences of fatigue would be beneficial.en_US
