Summary

This study tested whether teaching children aged 9-12 how to manage their time during haemodialysis can reduce their anxiety and fear. Twenty children were split into two groups: one received the training, the other got usual care. Researchers measured anxiety and fear levels before training, one week later, and one month later.
