Effectiveness of self-acupressure interactive modules as a learning resource in reducing pruritus in hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of pruritus in hemodialysis patients is relatively high due to the impact of chronic renal failure. Numerous studies have examined uremic pruritus and acupressure. Patients can learn self-acupressure to relieve pruritus by using an interactive module. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the self-acupressure interactive module as a learning source in relieving pruritus.
