This study aims to evaluate the effect of cool baby oil on pruritus and sleep quality among uremic patient Research Hypothesis: * H01: There is no difference between hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby and those who apply placebo regarding sleep quality at 4 weeks follow-up * H02: There is no difference between hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby and those who apply placebo regarding itching severity at 4 weeks follow-up * H03: There is no difference between hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby and those who apply placebo regarding sleep quality at 12 weeks follow up * H04: There is no difference between hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby and those who apply placebo regarding itching severity at 12 weeks follow up * H1: Hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby oil will exhibit improved sleep quality than those who apply placebo at 4 weeks follow up * H2: Hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby oil will exhibit decreased itching severity than those who apply placebo at 4 weeks follow up * H3: Hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby oil will exhibit improved sleep quality than those who apply placebo at 12 weeks follow up * H4: Hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus who apply cool baby oil will exhibit decreased itching severity than those who apply placebo at 12 weeks follow up
