“…Due to the high prevalence of patients requiring hemodialysis, to prevent increased medical costs, and to enhance the process of recovery, it is necessary to use psychological therapies. Stress management and life skills training are considered effective in reducing stress, anxiety and depression in general population ( Hasanvandi, Valizade, Mehrabizade Honarmand, & Mohammadesmaeel, 2013 ; Hamid, 2011 ). Therefore, providing such trainings can also be beneficial to hemodialysis patients.…”

This study aims to determine the effect of stress management group training on hope in hemodialysis patients.Method:In this quasi-experimental single-blind study, 50 patients with renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Motahari Hospital in Jahrom were randomly divided into stress management training and control groups. Sampling was purposive, and patients in stress management training group received 60-minute in-person training by the researcher (in groups of 5 to 8 patients) before dialysis, over 5 sessions, lasting 8 weeks, and a researcher-made training booklet was made available to them in the first session. Patients in the control group received routine training given to all patients in hemodialysis department. Patients’ hope was recorded before and after intervention. Data collection tools included demographic details form, checklist of problems of hemodialysis patients and Miller hope scale (MHS). Data were analyzed in SPSS-18, using Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, and paired t-test.Results:Fifty patients were studied in two groups of 25 each. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age, gender, or hope before intervention. After 8 weeks of training, hope reduced from 95.92±12.63 to 91.16±11.06 (P=0.404) in the control group, and increased from 97.24±11.16 to 170.96±7.99 (P=0.001) in the stress management training group. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in hope scores after the intervention.Conclusion:Stress management training by nurses significantly increased hope in hemodialysis patients. This low cost intervention can be used to improve hope in hemodialysis patients.

“…Some researchers conclude that group learning of stress management reduces negative emotions and stress and enhances self-sufficiency in patients with chronic diseases (Cobden DS, Niessen, Barr, Rutten, & Redekop, 2010). The results of the present study are in agreement with the findings of Hassanvandi et al (Hasanvandi, Valizade, Mehrabizade Honarmand, & Mohammadesmaeel, 2013) and with regard to the positive effects of stress management training programs. Quoting Lavavan, Poorgholami et al states that there is a direct relationship between accepting responsibility for one's own care and the psychological-emotional conditions of patients undergoing hemodialysis (Moradi panah, 2006).…”

Introduction: Patients with kidney failure often need to change their lifestyles, which can result in various psychological-social problems. The present study aims to evaluate the influence of group-based learning of stress management on psychology symptoms levels of hemodialysis patients.Method: This is a quasi-experimental, single-blind study in which 50 patients with kidney failure were randomly divided into two groups. Sampling was based on the purposeful method. Before undergoing dialysis, the patients in the experimental group were trained in stress management; the training lasted 60 minutes and was presented in 5 sessions. The patients in the control group received the standard education all the patients undergoing hemodialysis at the hospital receive. The stress levels of the patients before and after the intervention were measured by the reliable and valid questionnaire of DASS 21. To analyze the collected data, the researchers employed the statistical tests one-way ANOVA and the software SPSS 18. Result:The 50 patients under study were divided into two equal groups. In terms of such demographic characteristics as age, gender, and stress level, there were no significant differences between the two groups before the intervention. However, after the 5-week education, the stress level in the experimental group decreased from 16.96±0.90 to 8.36±1.03. In the control group, the stress level decreased from 15.92±1.44 to 13.76±1.44. After the intervention, the difference between the means of the groups' stress scores was found to be significant (p<0.001). Conclusion:The result is expected to provide new knowledge to support the effective follow-up for hemodialysis patient in order to improve their emotional and health status.
