The Relationship Between Thirst Distress and Severity and Compliance with Fluid Control and Interdialytic Weight Gain in Hemodialysis Patients

Objective: This study was performed to examine the relationship between thirst distress and severity and compliance with fluid control and interdialytic weight gain in patients receiving outpatient hemodialysis treatment.Methods: This two-center, descriptive and cross-sectional study was completed with 148 patients receiving outpatient hemodialysis treatment.The data were collected by using the "Patient Introduction Form", the "Thirst Distress Scale (TDS)", the "Fluid Control Scale in Hemodialysis Patients (FCSHP)", the "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)".Interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) was calculated as the difference between the weight before hemodialysis and the weight recorded after the previous session; the mean of sessions over 3 months was recorded.Independent sample t-test, One way-ANOVA test, Mann-Whitney-U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to evaluate the data, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales.Results: According to the results, the mean TDS score was 21.675.02, the mean VAS score was 4.621.68,the mean FCHPS total scale score was 44.866.80, the mean FCHPS behavior subscale score was 22.145.74,the mean FCHPS knowledge subscale score was 12.542.79,and the mean FCHPS attitude Z Ama: Bu aratrma, ayaktan hemodiyaliz tedavisi alan hastalarn susama sknts ve susama iddetinin sv kontrol uyumu ve interdiyalitik kilo alm ile ilikisini incelemek amacyla yapld.Yntemler: Bu iki merkezli tanmlayc ve kesitsel alma, ayaktan hemodiyaliz tedavisi gren 148 hasta ile tamamland.Veriler "Hasta Tantm Formu", "Hemodiyaliz Hastalarnda Susama Sknts lei (HHSS)", "Hemodiyaliz Hastalarnda Sv Kontrol lei (HHSK)", Vizel Analog Skala (VAS)" kullanlarak topland.nterdiyalitik kilo alm (IDWG), hemodiyaliz ncesi arlk ile nceki seanstan sonra kaydedilen arlk
