Effect of Integrating Auricular Acupressure and Fluid Restriction Program on Salivary Flow Rate and Fluid Control Adherence Among Children Undergoing Haemodialysis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fluid Restriction Program and Intervention Bundle (Fluid Restriction Program and Auricular Acupressure for Hemodialysis Complication. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of auricular acupressure on salivary flow rate and fluid restriction adherence among children undergoing Hemodialysis . Hypothesis Children undergoing Hemodialysis who receive both auricular acupressure and fluid restriction program exhibit better salivary flow rate and fluid control adherence than those who receive fluid restriction program only.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In order to design the fluid restriction program content (booklet). The fluid restriction program included (a) General small-group discussion sessions, (b) individualized consultations, and (c) follow-up sessions. In the group discussion sessions, children in both the study and control groups were divided into subgroups (6 participants per each). In the group discussion sessions, children in both the study and control groups were divided into subgroups. The sessions were conducted in the meeting room of the Hemodialysis unit lasts for 45 minutes. In the Individualized Consultations, children then were provided tailored, age-appropriate education. The researchers also arranged for regular follow-up for one months.
the study group received the Fluid Restriction Program and Auricular Acupressure in four acupoints namely, Shenmen, Kidney Concha, Point Zero and Upper Tragus. The researcher's finger gently pressed on each determined acupoints in a circular movement with a clockwise direction for three minutes.
