Summary

The research was planned to measure pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction with ice massage applied to the fistula before the arteriovenous fistula procedure in hemodialysis patients. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be given ice massage before the procedure and the relevant parameters will be measured.

Detailed description

Chronic renal failure is a condition that causes irreversible damage to kidney functions and prevents the excretion of metabolic wastes through urine. In the treatment of the disease; renal replacement therapies and kidney transplant options are available. The most commonly used treatment in end-stage renal failure patients is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is performed through catheters and fistula channels. Patients receiving hemodialysis treatment through fistula are connected to the dialysis device. For this procedure, an injection occurs 2 or 3 times a week. It is a distressing situation for patients that needle insertion is painful during the procedure and that conditions such as ecchymosis and hematoma frequently occur afterwards. In this study, cold application was planned in a pre-test post-test design to evaluate pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction. Volunteer participants who receive hemodialysis treatment through fistula will receive an ice massage for an average of 3-5 minutes on the fistula area where the needle will be inserted before the procedure.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	ice massage group	Measurement surveys will be applied to obtain pre-test data from hemodialysis patients who meet the research criteria. After the preliminary test data are obtained, ice cubes prepared by the researchers before the needle insertion into the arteriovenous fistula for the hemodialysis procedure will be wrapped in a thin sponge and an ice massage will be applied to the needle insertion area of the patient in a direction that will not disrupt the circulation. This process will take approximately 3-5 minutes or the massage will be terminated when the patient feels drowsiness. In the next stage, the patient will undergo needle intervention for hemodialysis. At the end of this stage, the patient's pain will be evaluated. Patients will be re-evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 hours for ecchymosis and hematoma and relevant measurements will be provided.
