This study aims to examine the effects of foot reflexology and therapeutic touch on fatigue depression and sexual quality of life in women receiving hemodialysis treatment Hemodialysis treatment may have negative effects on the quality of sexual life and mental health of female patients In this context understanding the potential healing effects of foot reflexology and therapeutic touch on sexual health and fatigue and depression in these individuals may contribute to the development of more effective support and treatment strategies
Detailed Description:
Chronic kidney disease CKD stands out as a rapidly increasing important health problem globally CKD is a universal public health priority associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality and excessive health care costs The most common form of renal replacement therapy is hemodialysis In patients with chronic kidney disease treated with hemodialysis the disappearance of the survival advantage of women over men in the general population deeply affects the life experience of women Among the additional difficulties that women face in this process compared to men the inability to maintain their emotional resilience failure to comply with treatment and failure to meet their social support needs come to the fore
The problems caused by hemodialysis and chronic illness create a significant burden on women both materially and spiritually and negatively affect womens quality of life Common and common conditions include sleep disorders fatigue depression and pain In addition higher levels of sexual dysfunction have been reported in women with hemodialysis and it has been stated that loss of sexuality may reduce self-confidence and cause problems in marriage Chronic hemodialysis patients especially female patients should be supported in terms of sexual dysfunctions and psychosocial conditions Therefore health professionals should evaluate the psychosocial lives of especially female patients and provide the necessary support Health professionals use of complementary approaches to reduce patients problems and improve their negative emotional states increases the effectiveness of medical treatment
Reflexology and therapeutic touch are among the low-cost and complication-free nursing interventions These nursing interventions can be used together with medical treatments to reduce stress and balance the body Studies indicate that reflexology application and therapeutic touch can be effective in improving sexual function and positive emotions However when the literature is examined it is observed that there are no studies evaluating therapeutic touch intervention in women receiving hemodialysis treatment and reflexology studies are quite inadequate Therefore our study aims to examine the effects of foot reflexology and therapeutic touch on fatigue depression and sexual quality of life in women receiving hemodialysis treatment
