Summary
Chronic kidney disease represents a significant public health issue both in Türkiye and worldwide, with the majority of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Individuals receiving hemodialysis often experience not only physical discomfort but also psychological distress, including heightened anxiety and reduced comfort. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of stress ball use on comfort, anxiety, and patient satisfaction among hemodialysis patients. The stress ball is a simple and cost-effective non-pharmacological intervention that aids individuals in managing stress by redirecting their attention. Notably, this study is unique in simultaneously investigating comfort, anxiety, and satisfaction parameters within this patient population.
