Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between self-care power and comfort level of hemodialysis patients. The research data were collected between 15.04.2024-24.05.2024. Ethics committee and institutional permission were obtained before starting the study. All patients (n:83) receiving hemodialysis treatment in a state hospital were included in the study. The study was completed with 72 (86.74%) patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the hemodialysis comfort scale and self-care power scale. The research data were analyzed in the statistical program. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean self-care power score of hemodialysis patients was 24.54±4.29 and the mean comfort scale score was 67.36±10.42. A statistically significant relationship was determined between the self-care power level of the patients and the variables of gender, marital status and treatment duration (p<0.05). A statistically significant relationship was determined between the comfort level of the patients and the variables of gender, marital status, family support during treatment and disease process, and treatment duration (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the level of self-care power and comfort levels of the patients (p<0.05).In conclusion, self-care power and comfort concepts are affected by individual and environmental characteristics. The self-care level of the patients was determined to be low and the comfort level was determined to be moderate. As the self-care power of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment increases, their comfort levels also increase. In this direction
