Abstract
Aim: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of nursing care structured according to Kolcaba's comfort theory and given to hemodialysis patients on their symptom severity and comfort.
Design: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with 46 patients; 22 were in the intervention group and 24 were in the control group, who received treatment in the hemodialysis unit of a training and research hospital in Türkiye between November 2021 and May 2022.
Methods: The Patient Information Form (PIF), Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI) and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale-Version II (HDCS-II) were used to collect data.
Results: While the mean DSI scores decreased in the intervention group over time, they increased in the control group. The mean score obtained from the overall HDCS-II increased over time in three follow-ups performed at different times in the intervention group. The mean score obtained from the overall HDCS-II decreased over time in three follow-ups performed at different times in the control group.
Conclusions: In the present study, nursing care structured according to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory given to hemodialysis patients reduced the severity of the symptoms in the participants and increased their comfort levels.
