Background & aim: Hemodialysis significantly alters the daily life and health of patients with kidney failure, impacting their quality of life and sleep. This study aimed to assess the impact of an easy exercise regimen on hemodialysis outcomes.
Methods: This cross-sectional interventional study utilized a pre-post design involving 42 hemodialysis patients selected via census. Demographic data were recorded, and baseline assessments of quality of life and sleep quality were conducted using the Kidney Patients Quality of Life Questionnaire (KDQOL-SFTM) and the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Questionnaire, respectively. Additional measures included KT/V and biochemical tests. Participants engaged in the Easy Workout program three times per week during dialysis sessions over a 12-week period, after which post-intervention assessments were conducted.
Results: After the interventions, the sleep quality of the patients increased significantly (P<0.001). The adequacy of dialysis compared to before the intervention showed a statistically significant increase (P = 0.039). The general dimension and the specific dimension of the quality of life of the patients increased significantly after the interventions (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Easy exercises during hemodialysis improve sleep quality, quality of life and dialysis adequacy of hemodialysis patients. It is suggested to use easy exercises to improve the health status of patients during hemodialysis. |
