“…In end-stage renal disease, alternative treatment methods such as hemodialysis should be used to replace the kidney functions and keep the patient alive (2). Patients undergoing hemodialysis experience many symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, hypotension, muscle contractions, chest pain, headache, and fatigue, all of which adversely affect their daily functioning and quality of life (3). Fatigue is a prevalent and frustrating symptom among these patients (3)(4)(5).…”

Fatigue is a prevalent and frustrating symptom among these patients (3)(4)(5). About one-third of patients experience fatigue an hour after starting a hemodialysis session and one-fourth of them feel tired at the end of each session (6).…”

“…The chronic and debilitating nature of fatigue can restrict the patients' ability to perform their roles and daily activities and may even lead to job loss and increased dependence on health care. Given the high prevalence of fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis (3)(4)(5) and the related adverse effects (7), special efforts should be made to reduce fatigue in these patients.…”

Objectives: The prevalence of fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis is high. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Rosa damascena oil on fatigue severity in patients receiving hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed on 74 patients receiving hemodialysis in Tabriz, Iran from January 21 to February 21, 2019. The patients were conveniently recruited and assigned into two groups of intervention and control using a block randomization method with block sizes of four and six and a sequence of 1:1. Patients in the intervention group were trained to inhale three drops of R. damascena oil each night for one month. We used the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) for data collection and analyzed the data using the independent samples and paired t tests. Results: No significant difference was found between the two groups respecting the mean baseline fatigue scores (P=0.12). However, at the end of the study, the mean fatigue score was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (P=0.001). Conclusions: We witnessed that R. damascena oil aromatherapy significantly reduced the severity of fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis. This useful and inexpensive technique can be utilized as a complementary method to relieve fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis.
