Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of fatigue levels of patients undergoing hemodialysis on their sleep quality after dialysis treatment.
Materials and methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 100 patients who received treatment in a private dialysis center. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between March and May 2024 using the Patient Diagnostic Form, Fatigue Severity Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
Findings: The FSS and PSQI mean scores of the participants were 5.17 ± 2.62 and 7.70 ± 3.57, respectively. 70% of the patients felt tired after dialysis treatment. Results of the study also revealed that the scores of the participants who were female, had a low educational level, were unemployed, had diabetes and hypertension as the primary causes of kidney disease, needed rest after dialysis treatment, could not sleep well at night, had difficulty sleeping at night on the days of dialysis treatment, and felt restless when they woke up in the morning had significantly higher FSS scores. As a result of regression analysis, the model showed that having difficulty sleeping at night on the days of dialysis treatment, reasons that made it difficult to sleep, taking pills to sleep, and feeling rested when waking up in the morning had significant effects.
Conclusion: This study revealed that fatigue levels of hemodialysis patients after dialysis treatment affected their sleep quality; sleeping problems were common in dialysis patients, and sleep quality was correlated with fatigue.
