Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Low quality of sleep is a common problem among hemodialysis patients. This
study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a cold dialysis solution on the quality of sleep in patients
undergoing hemodialysis.
METHODOLOGY: This double‑blind clinical trial was performed on 26 hemodialysis patients with
chronic renal failure and sleep disorders in the dialysis center of Sabzevar, Iran, in 2016–2017. Of the
26 patients, 13 each were allocated to the intervention and control groups. The patients in both groups
received 4 weeks of hemodialysis (3 sessions per week) using a standard solution with a temperature
of 37°C. In the next stage, the control group continued to receive the standard‑temperature dialysis,
while the intervention group received dialysis using a solution with a temperature of 35.5°C for
4 weeks (3 sessions per week). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess and compare
the quality of sleep before and after the intervention in the two groups. Data were analyzed using R
1.2.3 software, at 95% confidence level.
RESULTS: Although the mean scores of sleep quality were not significantly different between the
intervention (9.53 ± 3.12) and control (11.23 ± 3.37) groups at baseline, postintervention, significant
differences were observed (intervention group: 4.7 ± 4.55; control group: 10.61 ± 2.69; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: This study showed that dialysis with cold solution is a simple, cost‑effective, and
nonpharmacological method that can be used to improve sleep quality in patients undergoing
hemodialysis.
