The study will include the patients undergoing hemodialysis. The patients with surgery at upper extremity in last 3 months, the presence of conditions such as cancer, chronic hearing loss and neurologic diseases affect the interview will be excluded. Sociodemographic properties which include age, gender, duration of dialysis, educational level, comorbid diseases, vascular access area, hand dominancy will be asked. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (Q-DASH) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will applied to all patients.

All the demographic results and vascular access area for hemodialysis will be detected. All data for normality will be tested by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To compare the differences between groups, Mann Whitney U test will be used
