Interventions
After the hemodialysis, the patients will receive a 15-20 minute hand and foot massage. This application will be applied to the patients in two weekly dialysis sessions for a total of 8 sessions for four weeks. Before starting the massage applications, the patient's hands and feet will be washed and dried thoroughly. The patients will be given a semi-sitting or lying position that they can feel comfortable in. Before starting the hand and foot massage, the researcher will gently rub and warm their hands and wrists. The massages will start with a hand massage. A foot massage will be performed after the hand massage. 3-5 drops of baby oil applied at room temperature will be used to reduce friction during the massage. Effleurage, petrissage and friction styles of the massage will be applied.
