- Original description
This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of combined autogenic relaxation and Surah Ar-Rahman murottal therapy on anxiety, sleep quality, and hemodynamic parameters in hemodialysis patients. A pretest-posttest control group design will be used involving 76 participants undergoing routine hemodialysis. Participants will be assigned to an intervention group receiving structured autogenic relaxation followed by murottal therapy and a control group receiving standard care with music listening. Anxiety, sleep quality, and hemodynamic parameters will be measured at baseline and after a 6-week intervention period. The findings are expected to support the use of non-pharmacological and spiritual-based interventions in improving psychological and physiological outcomes in hemodialysis patients.Read full original descriptionShow less
