“…PUH experienced multiple physiological and psychosocial stressors such as feeling tired, arterial and venous stick, hospital transportation, frequent hospitalizations, and the length of time on dialysis (Tchape et al., 2018). These physiological and psychological functioning limitations increase perceived stress (PS; Behjat et al., 2020). Out of 100 PUH, 56% had severe stress, and 27% had extreme stress (Joseph et al., 2017).…”

Benson’s relaxation affects many symptoms among hemodialysis patients. A cluster-randomized active control clinical trial with three repeated measures; pre, 1-week, and 1-month post-intervention sought to evaluate the effectiveness of Benson’s Relaxation on pain and perceived stress (P&PS) among hemodialysis patients. Two governmental hospitals were randomly assigned to intervention and control. Thirty-six participants were randomly selected; 18 were intervention, and 18 were controlled. The intervention group performed Benson’s Relaxation twice a day for 10 minutes for 8 weeks after a training session. The control group received an educational session about Progressive Relaxation. Findings revealed a statistically significant reduction in the PSS-10 and PRI scores between pre-intervention and 1 month after-intervention ( p < .001) and at 1 week after intervention and 1 month after-intervention ( p < .001). A non-statistically significant reduction between pre-intervention and 1 week after-intervention ( p > .05). Benson’s Relaxation significantly relieved P&PS among hemodialysis patients but not after only 1 week of practicing.
