|
Purpose: The study was conducted to identify the effects of holistic breathing using biofeedback on fatigue, depression, and sleep disorders of hemodialysis patients.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design and pre-post tests. Data were collected from August 20, 2012 to April 6, 2013. Twenty-five patients were assigned to an experimental group and twenty-five patients were assigned to a control group. Holistic breathing using biofeedback was applied during hemodialysis in a hospital with a frequency of twice a week for five weeks. Patients practiced 10 minutes of
the holistic breathing twice daily for while at home. Chi-square and t-test were utilized for analyzing the data
using SPSS 18.0.
Results: Hemodialysis patients who practiced the holistic breathing using biofeedback experienced significantly lower levels of fatigue (t=2.612, p=.012), depression (t=3.390, p=.001), and sleep disorders (t=2.016, p=.049) when compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the holistic breathing using biofeedback is an effective nursing intervention for patients receiving hemodialysis for the management of fatigue, depression, and sleep disorders.
