This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on depression, anxiety, stress, and mental well-being in hemodialysis patients. A total of 60 eligible patients were allocated to an intervention group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200930) and a control group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200930) according to dialysis scheduling. Patients in the intervention group listened to Surah Al-Inshirah during dialysis sessions over a 4-week period. Outcomes were assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). The results suggested that listening to Surah Al-Inshirah may be associated with reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in hemodialysis patients. Given the cultural context of the study setting, Qur\u2019anic recitation may represent a culturally acceptable complementary intervention.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/13591053261466932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T13:55:35Z","timestamp":1784642135000},"page":"5188-5197","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The effect of listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on depression, anxiety, stress, and mental well-being in hemodialysis patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7103-867X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6mer","family":"Tanrverdi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, Mardin Artuklu University, Mardin, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abd-Alrazaq A Malkawi AA Maabreh AH et al.
