简要总结
This is an open-label, single center, non-randomized, single-arm pilot study to determine the ability of a Relaxation and Guided Imagery Program for its ability to induce a reduction in anxiety in subjects undergoing hemodialysis for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Measures will evaluate the program's ability to impact anxiety, with secondary analysis of headaches, insomnia, fatigue, and pain. Subjects will be administered questionnaires at the study start and study end. Intervention will involve listening to a pre-recorded guided relaxation and imagery during regularly-scheduled dialysis sessions for four weeks.
详细描述
The investigators hypothesize that participation in the guided relaxation and imagery sessions, at least once during each hemodialysis session by subjects presenting with anxiety, will result in a demonstrated ability to shift out of anxiety into a peaceful state of mind, and result in a decrease in the reported immediate and overall anxiety levels.
Intervention will involve listening to a pre-recorded guided relaxation and imagery during regularly-scheduled dialysis sessions for four weeks. Subjects will be asked to complete the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOL) questionnaire relating to quality of life measures, Likert scales to measure anxiety, headaches, insomnia, fatigue and pain and a questionnaire to assess other practiced meditative therapies, psychological therapies and medications.
Study Procedures:
Baseline: Following consent, each subject will be given an introduction to the program and will be provided with an MP3 player, pre-loaded with a recording of the guided mediation program. Subjects will be asked to complete the KDQOL questionnaire, as well as a Likert Scale to measure the psychophysical parameters in question at baseline. Subjects will be given a short questionnaire to assess other practiced meditative therapies. Per standard of care, patients will have blood drawn to measure C Reactive Protein (CRP) levels on day of consent, or within one week prior to Visit 1.
Visits 1 - 12: Subjects will complete a Likert Scale at the start of every dialysis session for 4 weeks (a total of 12 sessions), as well as listen to the recording at least once during each of the 12 sessions. Every recorded session will last approximately 25 minutes. Subjects will repeat the Likert Scale completion following each recorded session.

结局指标
主要结局
Anxiety level
时间窗: Four weeks
To determine how much of an impact anxiety had on the subject's day to day life, using a Likert Scale, ranging from 1 (none) to 5 (extreme).
Quality of Life Score
时间窗: Four weeks
To determine the quality of life using the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOL) questionnaire. The score is determined by transforming the raw precoded numeric values of items to a 0-100 possible range, with higher transformed scores always reflecting better quality of life. Each item is put on a 0-100 range so that the lowest and highest possible score are set at 0 and 100 respectively. Scores represent the percentage of total possible score achieved.
