Mindfulness for Saudi Hemodialysis Patients
Sponsor: Jordan University of Science and Technology
Summary
This study aims to evaluate whether an MBI improves sleep quality, emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress), emotion regulation, and trait mindfulness among adults with ESRD on HD. A randomized two-arm pre-post design was conducted with N = 38 patients at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (DSFH), Saudi Arabia (n = 19 intervention; n = 19 control). The intervention comprised 30-minute guided sessions, 3 times a week for 5 weeks during HD sessions. The control group received the study intervention after the study. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post-intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS).

Interventions
Mindfulness-Based Intervention
The intervention was a structured audio-based MBI program over a five-week period during regular hemodialysis procedure. The program, delivered using validated audio recordings, drew on the principles of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and was tailored to the needs of hemodialysis patients . The intervention group participated in daily 30-minute sessions of guided MBI three times a week for five weeks. These sessions took place during the dialysis sessions to improve the feasibility and avoid placing further burdens on participants. The mindfulness intervention involved a number of key elements, such as focusing on the breathing, body scanning, awareness of the present moment and nonreactive monitoring of thoughts and feelings. Participants were advised to become mindful of their thoughts, feelings, and sensations, without trying to change them. The program also taught acceptance-based approaches and cognitive diffusion from negative thought
