The Effect of Mindfulness on Emotional Regulations Skills and Quality of Life Among Patients on Hemodialysis

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.
