Summary
This study tested whether nurse-led mindfulness sessions could help people on hemodialysis feel better and follow their treatment more closely. Eighty patients were split into two groups: one received six weekly mindfulness sessions, the other got usual care. After the program, the mindfulness group reported higher psychological well-being and better adherence to dialysis, medications, fluid limits, and diet. The results suggest that adding mindfulness to routine care could support both emotional health and self-management in dialysis patients.
