      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Sampling will be done on a convenience basis, but the allocation of diaphragmatic breathing, resonant breathing, and cannulation control will be done using a 6-block randomization method as ABC-ACB-BCA-BAC-CAB-CBA. In this way, a sequence of the above blocks will be randomly generated using R software, and a list will be created, and patients will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups based on the aforementioned list, Blinding description: The analyzer responsible for evaluating the trial's results will also be kept blind to the type of interventions. Therefore, the trial will be conducted as a single-blind study.</study_design>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The amount of pain felt by the patient is determined using the Numeric Rating Scale scale on a scale from 0 to 10. Timepoint: The intensity of patients' pain during the insertion of arterial and venous needles (in the two stages of cannulation) will be measured by an experienced dialysis nurse for all groups. Method of measurement: Assessment of patient pain from two cannulation lines using the Numeric Rating Scale by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Oxygen saturation percentage measured with a pulse oximeter. Timepoint: The measurement is performed in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, the oxygen saturation percentage will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Systolic blood pressure is the blood pressure during the contraction phase of the heart, which is recorded as a number in millimeters of mercury based on the monitoring device. Timepoint: The measurement is done in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, systolic blood pressure will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Diastolic blood pressure is the blood pressure during the resting phase of the heart, which is recorded as a number and in millimeters of mercury based on the monitoring device. Timepoint: The measurement is done in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, the diastolic blood pressure will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Mean atrial pressure= + (2 × diastolic pressure)] (systolic pressure)] / 3which is recorded as a number based on the monitoring device. Timepoint: The measurement is done in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, the Mean atrial pressure pressure will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The number of heartbeats per minute, which is monitored and recorded by a vital signs monitoring device. Timepoint: The measurement is performed in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, the number of heart beats per minute will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The number of breaths per minute, which is monitored and recorded by a vital signs monitoring device. Timepoint: The measurement is done in such a way that after the patient lies down on the bed and rests for 3 minutes, the number of breaths per minute will be measured. Method of measurement: Physiological indicators including oxygen saturation percentage, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, Mean atrial pressure), heart rate, and respiratory rate will be recorded through a monitoring device by a nurse who is unaware of the study groups.</prim_outcome>
