Efficacy of Deep Breathing Exercise and Range of Motion Exercise on Quality of sleep in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing Hemodialysis.

Abstract

Introduction: Up to 80% of patients receiving dialysis may experience sleep problems. These sleep problems are regularly linked to a reduction in life satisfaction overall and an increased risk of a number of complications. Older CKD patients undergoing HD patients, those undergoing HD for longer periods of time, and those attending HD sessions often are more possible to have sleep issues

Material and Methods: Pre-test-post-test Control group design was carried out on CKD patients undergoing treatment of HD. Totally 116 adult participants selected and further randomly assigned into two equal groups: control and intervention groups. (Every group has 58 samples). Both groups’ participants’ socio-demographic and PSQI assessment were collected. In pre-dialysis Session Experimental group received diaphragmatic breathing exercise. During dialysis Session range of motion exercise was administered for and the control group followed hospital routine management. After the completion of last session post-test was conducted for experimental group and control group.

Results: The results of this study shows a statistically significant difference in the mean total PSQI score between the experimental and control groups after the intervention (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The research findings indicate that a regular deep breathing and range of motion exercise program significantly improve the quality of sleep in patients with CKD undergoing HD.
