Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to find out whether mindful drinking/eating activities can improve quality of life and help make it easier for people on dialysis to follow their fluid restrictions. The pilot study is a randomized controlled trial with an intervention group and a wait list control group, randomized by cohort days. The intervention occurs during dialysis sessions once a week for 4 weeks. During each intervention session, participants are guided through a mindful eating exercise focused on foods recommended for controlling thirst (e.g., hard candy, frozen grapes) and a mindful drinking exercise. Participants are asked to practice mindful drinking/eating at least once daily at home.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Interdialytic Weight Gain (IWG)
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Average of 3 Interdialytic Weight gain measures taken the week after last intervention section (4 week time frame). Interdialytic weight gain is calculated as the patients' weight at the beginning of each hemodialysis session (pre-weight) minus the weight after the previous hemodialysis session (post-weight). Measured in kilograms. Lower numbers are better. Proxy measure for adhering to fluid restriction.
Total Score for Kidney-Disease Quality of Life Short Form v1.3
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Total Score for Kidney-Disease Quality of Life Short Form v1.3 Higher scores indicate greater quality of life. Score range from 0 to 100
Secondary Outcomes
- Mindful Eating(4 weeks)
