Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to assess the effect of IDEP on ED and its associated psychological burden in HD men. Forty HD men with ED were randomly assigned into the IDEP group (this group contained 20 HD men with ED who received intradialytic cycling three times per week) and the control group (this group served as waitlist men). outcomes : Five-Item International Index of Erectile Function (FI-IIEF), ten-question Rosenberg self-esteem scale (TQ-RSES), version three of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (LS), the revised version of Impact of Event Scale (RV-IES), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (S-TAI) were assessed before and after 12 weeks.
Detailed description
This study aimed to assess the effect of IDEP on ED and its associated psychological burden in HD men. Forty HD men with ED were randomly assigned into the IDEP group (this group contained 20 HD men with ED who received intradialytic cycling three times per week) and the control group (this group served as waitlist men). outcomes :Five-Item International Index of Erectile Function (FI-IIEF), ten-question Rosenberg self-esteem scale (TQ-RSES), version three of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (LS), the revised version of Impact of Event Scale (RV-IES), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (S-TAI) were assessed before and after 12 weeks.
Interventions
HD men came to the HD unit three times weekly to receive their dialysis session which consumed 3-4 hours. During the first two hours of the men's dialysis session, a pedal exerciser (RTL10273 Deluxe Folding Pedal Exerciser, Drive Medical Co. MPN) was utilized in performing leg cycling exercises while men were sitting. Before starting the session of intradialytic cycling, a 5-minute stretching of the lower limbs was performed as a warming up. Also, as cooling down, the same period of lower limbs' stretching was performed after ending intradialytic cycling
