Brief summary
This study was conducted to examine the effect of color therapy on depression, stress, anxiety and quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
Detailed description
Many patients on hemodialysis treatment require hemodialysis, which requires hospitalization three times a week for four hours each dialysis session. Therefore, practices such as color therapy may be useful in the management of psychological symptoms in these patients.
Interventions
OTHERColor therapy
In the experimental group, color therapy was applied 3 days a week for the first two weeks, while no intervention was performed in the third and fourth weeks. In the fifth and seventh weeks, color therapy was applied for 15 minutes each day, while no intervention was performed in the sixth week.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Depression Anxiety Stress-21 scale (DASS-21) | 8 week | The 21-question DASS scale used in the study was taken by Henry and Crawford. This scale (DASS-21) has 7 questions each to measure the dimensions of depression, stress and anxiety. The scale is a 4-point Likert-type scale, coded as 0 not applicable to me, 1 somewhat applicable to me, 2 generally applicable to me, and 3 completely applicable to me. |
| Short Form-12 (SF-12) Quality of Life Scale | 8 week | Ware et al. decided to develop a more practical form of the SF-36 that could be administered in a shorter time and developed the SF-12, which contains the same sub-dimensions as the SF-36 by reducing the number of questions. In addition to the fact that the SF-12 was created in such a way that the same component summary scores can be obtained as the SF-36, the fact that it contains fewer items and therefore has a shorter administration time provides a great advantage. Although it has been demonstrated that the SF-36 scale has sufficient validity and reliability in studies conducted in both patient and normal sample groups in our country, the validity and reliability study of the Turkish form of the SF-12, which was developed as a shorter alternative to the SF-36, was attempted. Similar to SF-36, SF-12 consists of 8 sub-dimensions and 12 items including physical functioning (2 items), physical role (2 items), body pain (1 item), general health (1 item), energy (1 item), social function |
