Brief summary
Based on the task of providing the comfort of the patient, which is an indispensable part of the nursing profession, which many nurse theorists emphasize, there has been no study in the literature on the determination of the effect of virtual relaxation, which can be effective on the fatigue and comfort levels of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of virtual reality and relaxation on fatigue and comfort in hemodialysis patients.
Detailed description
The patient will be prepared for relaxation with virtual reality and will be given a comfortable sitting position. The patient will watch the relaxation practice with virtual reality once during the hemodialysis treatment. The application will be terminated with the expiration of the virtual reality relaxation video. Fatigue and comfort score will be measured after the application.
