Summary

This study tested whether doing art therapy during hemodialysis sessions can reduce common symptoms like fatigue and discomfort, and improve patients' sense of spiritual well-being. Sixty adults on dialysis took part; half received at least 30 minutes of art therapy during each session for four weeks. Researchers compared their symptoms and well-being scores with the other group who did not receive art therapy.
