Summary

The study aims to investigate how mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) impacts trait mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression and quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis.

A Randomized controlled trial will be conducted with patients diagnosed with ESRD and undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Participants selected using a convenience sampling method will be randomly assigned into the intervention group (n=52) who received MBI, and the control group (n=52) who received a similar intervention after the study. The intervention involves a 30-minute MBI introduced three sessions per week during hemodialysis sessions over five weeks. Outcome measures included the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) to assess trait mindfulness, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) for cognitive reappraisal and behavioral suppression, and the Kidney Disease-related Quality of Life Questionnaire for quality of life. Data were collected at baseline and post-intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-based Intervention

In the present research, the standardized, theory based MBI was introduced to the experimental group (Smith, 2005). This 30-minute protocol involves a series of activities, including paying attention to and being aware of breath, body sensations, thoughts, and sounds without judgment. This protocol is a widely recognized and utilized method due to its simplicity and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for this study. Participants in the experimental group completed three weekly sessions of MBI for five weeks during their hemodialysis treatments (Alhawatmeh et al., 2022). Participants were provided with audio recordings of the MBI protocol, which they could practice during hemodialysis sessions. These recordings were delivered via email and WhatsApp, depending on their preference. This audio recording was developed based on the Smith's protocol by a certified study researcher who had a higher degree in nursing and extensive experience in practicing and delivering MBIs.
