The Effect of Mindfulness-based Nursing Interventions Applied to Hemodialysis Patients on Psychosocial Adaptation
The goal of this clinical study is to adapt mindfulness-based nursing interventions to hemodialysis patients and to investigate their effects on their psychosocial adjustment.
The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
Do consciously applied nursing interventions increase the psychosocial adjustment to the disease in hemodialysis patients? Do mindfulness-based nursing interventions increase body and mind awareness in hemodialysis patients? Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see if mindfulness-based interventions have an effect on the psycho-social adjustment of hemodialysis patients.
Primary Aims Test the efficacy of an adapted Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program to reduce symptoms and improve psychosocial adaption by 6 weeks.
Hypotheses
Primary: The mindfulness-based program increases the psychosocial adjustment to the disease in hemodialysis patients.
Secondary: Mindfulness-based program increases body and mind awareness in hemodialysis patients.
Long-range Goal: To develop evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacologic strategies that provide psychosocial adaptation relief to hemodialysis patients and are safe, practical, and cost-effective.
Interventions: The Mindfulness-based Applied program includes the curricular content of the standard 6 week. A trained teacher provides instruction in meditation techniques, including body scan, standing, sitting, and walking meditations, and mindful yoga.
The attention control consists of 90-minute online workshops. Audio recordings and written materials related to awareness exercises will be given to the participants at the end of each session so that they can do home practices.
