About this trial
Many symptoms are encountered during the hemodialysis treatment process, and fatigue and insomnia are two of the most common symptoms. The management of these symptoms, which negatively affect the quality of life and mental well-being of individuals, is very important. It is known that the effects of pharmacological treatments are limited in the management of symptoms encountered during the HD treatment process, and the tendency towards non-pharmacological methods in symptom management is increasing.
This study will be conducted to determine the effects of music therapy to be applied to individuals receiving HD treatment on fatigue, sleep quality and mental well-being.
This randomized controlled experimental study will be conducted with 60 individuals receiving treatment in the hemodialysis clinic of a public hospital. Individuals will receive 30 minutes of music therapy after the 2nd hour of each hemodialysis session for 4 weeks. Research data will be collected using the Introductory Information Form, Chalder Fatigue Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale.
This study is important because it is the first study to evaluate the effects of music therapy on fatigue, sleep quality and mental well-being of individuals receiving HD treatment. It is thought that music therapy applied to individuals receiving HD treatment will contribute to the literature on evidence.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Is music therapy effective in reducing fatigue?
The scale is a 4-point Likert type. The physical fatigue subscale score and the mental fatigue subscale score of the scale are added to obtain the general fatigue score. The physical fatigue subscale score can vary between 0-21, the mental fatigue subscale score between 0-12, and the total fatigue score between 0-33. An increase in the scale score indicates an increase in fatigue severity.
Time frame
Baseline and week 42
Is music therapy effective in improving sleep quality?
The scale evaluates sleep quality in the last month. It consists of 19 questions and seven subscales, and 18 items are included in the scoring. Each item is evaluated on a 0-3 scale, and the total scale score is the sum of the seven subscale scores. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-21, with a high score indicating poor sleep quality. A total scale score of ≤5 indicates "good sleep", and a score of \>5 indicates "bad sleep".
Time frame
Baseline and week 43
Is music therapy effective in improving mental well-being?
The scale consists of 14 items and is a 5-point Likert type. Scores range from 14 to 70. High scores indicate high psychological well-being.
