The Effect of Benson’s Relaxation Response on Fatigue Among in Hemodialysis Patients Abstract Background and aims: Many patients with chronic renal failure are fatigue because of disease process and long- term treatment with hemodialysis According to many complications and problems medication is reasonable to use of complementary methods to reduce fatigue in hemodialysis patients. this study aimed to effect of Benson relaxation on fatigue in hemodialysis patients. Materials and methods: The present research is an experimental controlled trial study conducted among 65 hemodialysis patients selected from Vasei Sabzevar Educational hospital in 2013. Patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected to the sampling method, and then were divided randomly into two groups( 33 patients) in experimental and (32 patients) in control group. The experimental group received Benson relaxation for 15 minute, twice a day during one month. No intervention received in control group. Data-collecting instruments included demographic information forms and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) questionnaire, were evaluated before and 2 week and 4 week after intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS-11/5 and SAS 9.1 statistical software using descriptive statistics, T test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney Test and generalized estimation equations. Results: Mean fatigue of experimental group before intervention was 6/97± 0/84 and after two weeks, it was 5/25± 1/07, four weeks later, it was 3/92 ± 1/11. Analysis of the data revealed significant difference before and after the intervention in the experimental group(P<0/01). Conclusion: Benson relaxation can be used as a complementary therapy to decrease the fatigue in the Hemodialysis patients considering its low cost, safety and simplicity.
