Fatigue is an unpleasant and terrible experience in life. Fatigue often occurs in hemodialysis patients, the cause of fatigue in hemodialysis patients occurs due to several factors, namely physiological and psychological factors of the patient. Foot Reflexology is a non-pharmacological therapy. Foot Reflexology is a massage that is carried out in the foot by applying pressure and massaging movements of the feet that are connected to other organs through the nervous system, foot reflexology creates relaxation, increases blood flow to the feet, brain, kidneys, and intestines. Therefore it is useful for overcoming fatigue. The purpose of this literature review was to determine the effect of foot reflexology on reducing fatigue in chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. The method used in this study was a literature review, by looking for articles related to the theme taken from Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar. The articles were selected according to the research inclusion criteria, then analyzed using the Hawker Checklist critical review instrument. The results of the literature review of the five articles, showed that the average score of fatigue in the intervention group after receiving footreflexology was decreased. The results of the analysis of the five articles proved that there was a significant reduction in fatigue in the intervention group, as evidenced by the bivariate value (p – value) was less than 0.05. Foot Reflexology can reduce fatigue in hemodialysis patients and can be used as an alternative treatment method in nursing because it is safe and non-invasive.Key words : Fatigue, Foot Reflexology,Hemodialysis Patients AbstrakKelelahanmerupakan pengalaman tidak menyenangkan dan menyulitkan dalam kehidupan.

Tujuan dari literatur review ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh foot reflexology terhadap penurunan kelelahan pada pasien gagal ginjal kronik yang menjalani terapi hemodialisa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah literatur review, dengan mencari artikel yang berkaitan dengan tema yang diambil dari beberapa search engine yaitu Pubmed, Science Direct dan Google Scholar. Artikel dipilih sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi penelitian, kemudian dianalisa menggunakan instrument telaah kritis Hawker Cheklist. Hasil literatur review dari kelima artikel, skor rata – rata kelelahan pada kelompok intervensi setelah mendapat footreflexology mengalami penurunan. Hasil dari analisa dari kelima artikel membuktikan bahwa terdapat penurunan kelelahan yang signifikan pada kelompok intervensi, dibuktikan dengan nilai bivariate ( p – value) p > 0,05.
