Summary

This study evaluates a collaborative care intervention in reducing depression, fatigue and pain symptoms and improving health related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Half of participants will receive the collaborative care intervention, while the other half will receive technology delivered health education information.

Detailed description

End-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis experience substantial symptom burden with fatigue, pain and depression among the most debilitating and existing as symptom clusters. These symptom clusters can exacerbate one another, and are independent and strong predictors of poor health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. This study will look at the effect of a 12 week stepped care intervention on changes in depression, pain or fatigue and health related quality of life.

Conditions

• End-Stage Renal Disease
• Hemodialysis
