Purpose:This study was designed to compare physical symptoms and fatigue of hemodialysis patients on dialysis day and non-dialysis day.
Methods: Data were collected from 63 outpatients undergoing hemodialysis at a hospital in A university hospital in August and September, 2008 using structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 12.0 program with Paired t-test and Pearson’s correlation.
Results: Physical symptoms in patients between dialysis day and non-dialysis day were not different statistically (t=1.76, p=.08). Fatigue on dialysis day was higher than on non-dialysis day (t=3.27, p=.00). Physical symptoms and fatigue positively correlated with dialysis day (r=.42, p=.00) and non-dialysis day (r=.52, p=.00).
Conclusion: Intervention to decrease physical symptoms and fatigue in dialysis day and non-dialysis day should be developed.
