Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality İndex (PSQİ) Score | Baseline and 4 weeks after intervention | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality İndex (PSQİ) will be used to assess sleep quality in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. The total PSQİ score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. |
| Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Score | Baseline and 4 week after intervention. | The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) will be used to assess stress levels in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. Scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. |
| Dialysis Symptom İndex (DSİ) | Baseline and 4 weeks after intervention. | TheDialysis Symptom İndex (DSİ) will be used to assess symptom burden in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. The total score ranges from 0 to 150, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden. |
