Summary

This project has as main objective to evaluate the effects of a Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in the reduction of stressors, pain and quality of life of people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The investigators hypothesize that this program offered during hemodialysis sessions may modify the pain profile, stressors levels and may improve the quality of life by the people in hemodialysis. This is an incipient field of research at the international level and almost nonexistent in Brazil. Evidence indicates the need for MBIs to be performed during HD sessions, adapted to the context, to facilitate patient compliance, contribute to the management of the discomfort generated during HD and promote health.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-based Intervention

A mindfulness-based intervention will be developed for chronic hemodialysis patients to be performed during hemotherapy sessions. This is an integrative mind-body program, which is based on the MBRP (Bowen et al., 2014) and BMT (T. Russell, 2015) protocols. The program will be conducted in eight weeks, with a weekly individual session of up to 60 minutes facilitated by an instructor, at the bedside during the HD session. The program aims to develop awareness of bodily sensations, emotions and thoughts, with an attitude of openness, curiosity, kindness and non-judgment. During the sessions will be worked four main techniques of mindfulness meditation: mindfulness in breathing, body scanning, conscious movements and practice of compassion. Participants are invited and encouraged to practice Mindfulness using audios made available during the other HD sessions they undergo during the week, in addition to daily home practice.
