Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline Depression Level at 12 Dialysis Session	It will be assessed two times with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Seven of the 14 questions measure anxiety and seven measure depression. Responses are scored in a four-point Likert format between 0-3. The lowest score that patients can get from both subscales is 0, and the highest score is 21. The cut-off points of the Turkish version of HADS were determined as 10 for the anxiety subscale and 7 for the depression subscale.	Up to 2 months
