Primary outcomes

  1. fatigue severity

    Time frame: one week= first session

    Fatigue severity was evaluated before starting the application (pre-test)

    Post-Dialysis Fatigue Scale: Kodama et al. The "Post-Dialysis Fatigue Scale" developed by (2020) is a five-item likert type scale consisting of 13 items.
