Summary

This pilot study tests a 13-week Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills training program for Canadians who have recently started or will soon start facility-based hemodialysis. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and helpful for improving mental health and reducing anxiety. About 35 participants will attend weekly group sessions, either in person or virtually.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical way to support mental health and reduce anxiety for people undergoing hemodialysis.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to improve mental health.
