Official title
The Effectiveness of Autogenic Relaxation and Surah Ar-Rahman Murottal Therapy on Anxiety, Sleep Quality, and Hemodynamic Parameters in Hemodialysis Patients
Overview
This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of combined autogenic relaxation and Surah Ar-Rahman murottal therapy on anxiety, sleep quality, and hemodynamic parameters in hemodialysis patients. A pretest-posttest control group design will be used involving 76 participants undergoing routine hemodialysis. Participants will be assigned to an intervention group receiving structured autogenic relaxation followed by murottal therapy and a control group receiving standard care with music listening. Anxiety, sleep quality, and hemodynamic parameters will be measured at baseline and after a 6-week intervention period. The findings are expected to support the use of non-pharmacological and spiritual-based interventions in improving psychological and physiological outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
Detailed description
This study applies a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The intervention group receives structured autogenic relaxation followed by Surah Ar-Rahman murottal therapy for 10-15 minutes per session, twice weekly for six weeks. The control group receives standard hemodialysis care with music listening. Anxiety, sleep quality, and hemodynamic parameters are assessed before and after the intervention.
