Drajat Prawiranegara Tahun 2025 creator: Maulany, Siti Salsabila subject: RT Nursing subject: RZ Other systems of medicine description: Background: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease that requires hemodialysis as the primary treatment, but this procedure often causes fatigue. One non-pharmacological intervention that has the potential to reduce fatigue is lower extremity muscle stretching exercise. This study aimed to examine the effect of lower extremity muscle stretching on fatigue levels in ESRD patients. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group approach. A total of 32 ESRD patients were selected using purposive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups (16 respondents each). The exercise was performed during hemodialysis sessions. Fatigue levels were measured using the FACIT Fatigue Scale with score range 0–52, where scores ≤30 indicate severe fatigue and >30 indicate mild fatigue. Data were analyzed using Paired t-tests and Independent t-tests. Results: The mean FACIT Fatigue Scale score in the intervention group increased from 25.25 to 40.44 (p = 0.000), indicating a reduction in fatigue from severe to mild. No significant difference was found in the control group (p = 0.203). Independent t-test results showed a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Lower extremity muscle stretching is effective in reducing fatigue levels in ESRD patients. This intervention is feasible as part of nursing care because it is easy to perform, cost-free, and can be done during hemodialysis sessions. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/1/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/2/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_CP.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/3/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/4/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/5/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/6/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/7/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/8/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_06.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/9/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_Ref.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49277/10/Siti%20Salsabila%20Maulany_8884210016_Lamp.pdf identifier: Maulany, Siti Salsabila (2025) Pengaruh Latihan Peregangan Otot Ekstremitas Bawah terhadap Tingkat Kelelahan pada Pasien End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) di Ruang Hemodialisis RSUD dr.
