A protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effect of a cognitive behavioral intervention on quality of life for patients on hemodialysis

There is promising evidence in support of CB-based interventions to improve HrQOL for patients on HD. Despite this, these interventions have not been routinely incorporated into clinical practice. The proposed intervention has the potential to improve both HrQOL and self-management, while also being easily translatable to other HD units.
