Pittsburgh Sleep Quality İndex (PSQİ) Score
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality İndex (PSQİ) will be used to assess sleep quality in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. The total PSQİ score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality.

The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) will be used to assess stress levels in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. Scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 week after intervention.
Dialysis Symptom İndex (DSİ)
TheDialysis Symptom İndex (DSİ) will be used to assess symptom burden in hemodialysis patients receiving mindfulness meditation intervention. The total score ranges from 0 to 150, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden.
