Detailed Description

Hemodialysis treatment aims to increase the life expectancy and quality of life of individuals. However, it is known that hemodialysis, which is a life-preserving treatment, causes many undesirable problems in physical, psychological, social and economic areas, in addition to its targeted effects. Muscle cramps and itching are two of the most common symptoms during the hemodialysis treatment process, and it is known that all problems and symptoms encountered during the treatment process negatively affect the quality of life and comfort level of individuals. Management of symptoms experienced by individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment is very important due to their effects on both quality of life and comfort level. It is known that the effects of pharmacological treatments are limited in the management of symptoms encountered during the treatment process. Therefore, there is an increasing trend towards non-pharmacological methods in the management of these symptoms. Music therapy is one of the important complementary treatments preferred by nurses and is a method used to manage symptoms and has no side effects. With music therapy, physical, psychological, emotional and social well-being is increased by utilizing the therapeutic aspect of music.
