REFLEXOLOGY AND SLEEP HYGIENE IN HEMODIALYSIS TREATMENT (HD)

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Sleep problems are common in people undergoing dialysis treatment due to kidney failure. Methods other than medication can be used to improve this condition. For example, reflexology, a foot massage technique, and sleep training can be helpful. This study investigated the effects of reflexology and sleep training on sleep quality and comfort in dialysis patients in Cyprus. The results showed that both reflexology and sleep training improved patients' sleep and overall comfort. However, reflexology was found to be more effective than the other methods. Objective: To improve sleep quality and comfort in dialysis patients. Method: Reflexology (foot massage) and sleep training were applied. Findings: Both methods improved sleep and comfort. Conclusion: Reflexology was found to be more effective than sleep training.
