Summary

This study tested whether a guided mindfulness meditation program, practiced during dialysis sessions, could reduce anxiety and improve spiritual well-being in people with chronic kidney disease. Fifty-eight adults on hemodialysis were randomly assigned to either the meditation group or a quiet rest group for four weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost practice can be a helpful addition to standard care.
