Summary

This study evaluates whether Bedtime Meditation Based on Mindfulness (BM-BOM) can reduce anxiety and improve spiritual well-being in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

People receiving long-term hemodialysis often experience emotional stress, anxiety, and spiritual distress due to chronic illness, treatment burden, and lifestyle limitations. These problems may affect their quality of life and overall well-being. Mindfulness meditation is a simple, low-cost, and safe non-drug approach that may help patients feel calmer, more focused, and more spiritually connected.

In this study, adult hemodialysis patients are randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group receives a guided mindfulness meditation program. Participants attend a single 2.5-hour training session led by a certified mindfulness instructor and then practice guided meditation during their hemodialysis sessions twice a week for four weeks using audio recordings. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes and includes breathing awareness, body awareness, and short reflection.

The control group follows the same schedule and duration but rests quietly with eyes closed without guided meditation.

Participants complete questionnaires before and after the four-week program to measure anxiety and spiritual well-being. The results of this study will help determine whether guided mindfulness meditation can be used as a practical and supportive complementary therapy for patients receiving hemodialysis.
