The effect of breathing exercises on pain, sleep, and symptom management in patients undergoing hemodialysis: a randomized controlled trial.
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effect of breathing exercises on pain, sleep, and symptom management in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: The randomized controlled study was conducted with patients undergoing hemodialysis at a private dialysis center in the northern Black Sea region. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), the Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), and the Vital Signs Form. According to the power analysis performed in the study, a total of 70 participants, 35 in each group, needed to be included in the study in order to conduct an independent t-test with a confidence level of 95%, a test power of 95%, and an effect size of d = 0.80. The study was conducted with a total of 69 patients divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 35) and the control group (n = 34). Patients in the experimental group performed breathing exercises (Diaphragmatic breathing, Agni Sār, Nadi Shodhana, and the 4-7-8 breathing technique) on dialysis days for eight weeks. During this period, patients in the control group continued to receive routine nursing care in the hemodialysis unit.
Results: Following the application, the average pain intensity in the control group (4.06 ± 3.1) was found to be statistically significantly higher than the average in the experimental group (0.4 ± 1.19) (p < 0.001). The average sleep score in the control group (48.56 ± 22.35) was found to be statistically significantly lower than the average in the experimental group (80.21 ± 16.46) (p < 0.001). The average DSI in the control group (92 ± 22.05) was found to be statistically significantly higher than the average in the experimental group (41.37 ± 7.15) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Breathing exercises in patients undergoing hemodialysis were found to reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and have a positive impact on symptom management. In light of this, it is recommended that nurses include breathing techniques as part of the care provided to hemodialysis patients. Using complementary methods such as breathing therapy supports the physical, psychological, psychosocial, and holistic care of patients, thus increasing patient satisfaction and quality of life. Training health professionals in breathing therapy will ensure a broader use of this complementary method in a larger patient population.
期刊介绍:
The journal Sleep and Breathing aims to reflect the state of the art in the international science and practice of sleep medicine. The journal is based on the recognition that management of sleep disorders requires a multi-disciplinary approach and diverse perspectives. The initial focus of Sleep and Breathing is on timely and original studies that collect, intervene, or otherwise inform all clinicians and scientists in medicine, dentistry and oral surgery, otolaryngology, and epidemiology on the management of the upper airway during sleep.
Furthermore, Sleep and Breathing endeavors to bring readers cutting edge information about all evolving aspects of common sleep disorders or disruptions, such as insomnia and shift work. The journal includes not only patient studies, but also studies that emphasize the principles of physiology and pathophysiology or illustrate potentially novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the journal features articles that describe patient-oriented and cost-benefit health outcomes research. Thus, with peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, Sleep and Breathing provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related scientific information. But it also does more: it is dedicated to making the most important developments in sleep disordered breathing easily accessible to clinicians who are treating sleep apnea by presenting well-chosen, well-written, and highly organized information that is useful for patient care.
