Kidney Disease subjects will be recruited from multiple locations within the Rogosin Institute Dialysis Center to take part of a mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention. The intervention consists of meet with a researcher and/or research assistant on a weekly basis. Dialysis patients will receive the intervention individually while on dialysis. Dialysis is an optimal time for conducting interventions as patients are there for 3-4 hours every 3 days. For 8-10 weeks (which will begin the week after the baseline interview). Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients will receive the intervention in group setting. Key components of what the intervention consists relate to stress management, breathing, and meditation exercises, as well as, techniques aimed at improving relations with others, sense of mastery and purpose in life. Additionally, during every point of contact, will be asked how often they utilized the strategies they were taught. This information will be helpful in understanding each person's individual level of mastery and proficiency in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). All subjects will complete a baseline interview, one follow-up at 3 months and the close out interview at 5 months.
