dc.description.abstractIntroduction: This study aimed to assess the impact of audiobooks on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 60 patients receiving hemodialysis. The intervention group listened to audiobooks for 4 weeks. Data on anxiety and depression levels were collected using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. Results: Statistically significant reductions in anxiety and depression scores were observed in the intervention group following the 4-week audiobook intervention. Furthermore, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in quality of life parameters, specifically in energy, social functioning, physical role limitations, and mental health. The control group showed a significant improvement only in social functioning. Conclusions: The findings suggest that audiobook interventions can effectively reduce anxiety and depression and enhance certain aspects of quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis. Trial Registration: Registration number: NCT05272891.
