Background of the study: Is a process in which waste materials in the blood are filtered through a semipermeable membrane and removed from body with replacement of renal function. Patients undergone for Haemodialysis will experience a major most frequent complaint as Fatigue. Hence the researcher developed foot Reflexology intervention on reduction of Fatigue. Hence the researcher interested to conduct an experimental study with an aim to reduce the fatigue among the post haemodialysis patients. Aim: the aim of study was to assess the effectiveness of foot reflexology on reduction of post haemodialysis fatigue among patients undergoing haemodialysis at dialysis units of selected hospitals of Bagalkot. Methodology: The research design selected for this study was quasi experimental one group pre-test post-test design. The sample size comprises of 50 post haemodialysis patients admitted in dialysis unit of BVVS HSK hospital of Bagalkot. The sampling technique adopted for this study will be probability simple random sampling technique. In the present study the data will be collected by using standardized fatigue assessment scale, the data analysis done by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency distribution, percentage, mean, mean percentage, Standard Deviation, paired ‘t’ test and Chi-square test. Result: The finding revealed that there is statistical significance different found between mean pre-test and post test scores [Z=5.6454(P value=0.00001)] and mean post-test level of fatigue will be significantly lower than the mean pre-test level of fatigue among post haemodialysis patients, A significant association was found between pre-tests scores with selected socio-demographic variables. Conclusion: The study proved that administration of foot reflexology techniques on reduction of fatigue was effective, scientific and Logical.
