95% CI-6.14 to-1.54; moderate certainty and MD-5.77, 95% CI-8.76 to-2.78; moderate certainty, respectively). In very low certainty evidence, the effects of acupressure, telephone support, and meditation were uncertain. There were few or no data on adverse events related to psychosocial interventions. Conclusions: Using cognitive-behavioural therapy, exercise, counselling, or relaxation techniques probably reduces depressive symptoms for adults with ESKD treated with dialysis. Cognitive-behavioural therapy and exercise probably increase health-related quality of life. Evidence of other psychosocial interventions is uncertain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
