NCT07054112

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of a 2-month live online mindfulness meditation program in reducing perceived fatigue (measured by the SONG-HD Fatigue Scale) in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. The sponsor expects that a live online mindfulness meditation course will have a significant public health impact by reducing perceived fatigue, which is strongly associated with cardiovascular events, mortality, and reduced quality of life. Participants will be enrolled according to eligibility criteria and randomized into one of the following groups: Experimental group: will receive an 8-week live online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. Control group: will receive standard care during their hemodialysis sessions and will be offered the same live online MBSR program between months 8 and 10. Patients will complete self-administered questionnaires at baseline, 2 months, 8 months, and 10 months to monitor changes in fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life.
