  The effect of laughter yoga on disease acceptance, treatment adherence and comfort in hemodialysis patients: A randomized controlled study

  BAL, Betül; KÖROĞLU-KABA, Nagihan; ÖZTÜRK, Havva; KURT, Yeter; ÖZSABAN, Aysel

  The aim of this study was to determine the effect of laughter yoga on hemodialysis patients' disease acceptance, treatment adherence and comfort levels. This randomized controlled study was conducted with 42 patients (experimental group=21, control group=21) who were treated in the hemodialysis unit. Hemodialysis patients in the experimental group received 12 sessions of laughter yoga for four weeks, three days a week. Data were collected using Patient Information Form, Disease Acceptance Scale, End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire, and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale. A significant difference was found between the disease acceptance scale (t(41) = 4.39, p < 0.001, d = 1.364), end-stage renal failure adaptation scale (t(41) = 2.69, p = 0.010, d = 0.830) and hemodialysis comfort scale (t(41) = 5.58, p = 0.010, d = 1.710) of hemodialysis patients who underwent laughter yoga. In addition for the Disease Acceptance Scale, the SD of the pre-test scores was 7.51. Accordingly, the MCID thresholds were calculated as 3.75 (0.5 SD), 3.11 (1 SEM), and 6.09 (1.96 SEM). For the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire, the SD was 178.79, and the MCID was calculated as 89.40 (0.5 SD), 63.47 (1 SEM), and 124.39 (1.96 SEM). For the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale, the SD was 6.43, resulting in MCID estimates of 3.21 (0.5 SD), 2.01 (1 SEM), and 3.94 (1.96 SEM). Laughter yoga practiced during hemodialysis increased acceptance of the disease, adherence to treatment, and comfort (p < 0.05). In contrast, no statistically significant difference was found in the control group (p > 0.05). Increasing hemodialysis patients' acceptance of the disease, adherence to treatment, and comfort levels ensure the successful continuation of the disease management process. The practice of laughter yoga in clinics during hemodialysis sessions is recommended to increase disease acceptance, adherence to treatment and comfort levels.

  Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for adherence of immunosuppressive treatment in liver transplant recipients: A randomized controlled trial

  Bulbuloglu, Semra; Gunes, Hüseyin

  Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the adherence of liver transplant recipients to immunosuppressive therapy with a randomized controlled design. Method: This randomized controlled trial was performed with 120 liver transplant recipients hospitalized at the liver transplant department of a research and practice hospital (n = 120). While we administered no intervention to the patients in the control group (n = 60), we provided Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to those in the experimental group (n = 60). We used the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and the Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence Scale to collect data. We utilized descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, independent-samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and chi-squared tests to analyze the data. Results: After the intervention, the immunosuppressive therapy adherence levels of the experimental group increased significantly (p < 0.01). On the other hand, the control group had significantly higher adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and significantly higher levels of mindfulness in the pretest phase than it did in the posttest phase (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Complete adherence to immunosuppressive therapy is imperative for the prevention of graft rejection in liver transplant recipients. In our study, the experimental group equipped with enhanced mindfulness had higher adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Therefore, the use of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in the promotion of adherence to immunosuppressive therapy is recommended.

  A randomized controlled trial of reflexology effect after abdominal surgery on patient satisfaction, pain and vital signs

  Kapıkıran, Gürkan; Bulbuloglu, Semra; Gunes, Huseyin; Saritaş, Serdar; Demir, Bilsev

  Objective: In our study, we investigated the effect of reflexology on patient satisfaction, pain and vital signs after abdominal surgery. Method: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with the participation of 156 abdominal surgery patients hospitalized in the general surgery unit of a training and research hospital. Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale and Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale were used in data collection. We performed the data analysis with One-way analysis of variance, Chi-squared test, paired samples t-test, and independent samples t-test. Results: When the pain, vital signs and satisfaction levels of the experimental and control groups were compared, the pain intensity of the experimental group was found to be lower and the level of satisfaction was higher after reflexology (p<0.01). After reflexology, the blood pressure was closer to 120/80 in the experimental group, the respiratory rate was between 16-22 (number/minute), the difference between the experimental and control groups were statistically significant (p<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the pulce oximetry values between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Surgical pain and non-optimal vital signs that are not well managed after surgery causes various complications and decrease patient satisfaction. The results of our study emphasize the power of reflexology in effective surgical pain management and normalizing vital signs and increasing patient satisfaction. We suggest that reflexology be performed to patients following abdominal surgery.
