Coping with the stress and anxiety caused by end stage kidney disease (ESKD) symptoms, treatment, restrictions, and social, financial and family stressors, consumes many afflicted with kidney disease. Meditation has been shown to decrease anxiety and stress, and improve wellbeing and quality of life of people with chronic disease. However, the clinical uptake of meditation is low in the ESKD dialysis population. This review describes what meditation and mindful meditation are and how they have been used for people with ESKD. Further research, using active control conditions and larger sample size, is required to identify effective meditation interventions that can improve the wellbeing of our patients and their ability to cope with the demands of ESKD.

Importance-Many people meditate to reduce psychological stress and stress-related health problems. To counsel people appropriately, clinicians need to know what the evidence says about the health benefits of meditation. Objective-To determine the efficacy of meditation programs in improving stress-related outcomes (anxiety, depression, stress/distress, positive mood, mental health quality of life, attention, substance use, eating, sleep, pain, and weight) in diverse adult clinical populations. Evidence Review-We included randomized trials with active controls that controlled for placebo effects, identified through November 2012 from MEDLINE®, PsycINFO, EMBASE®, PsycArticles, SCOPUS, CINAHL, AMED, Cochrane Library, and hand searches. Independent reviewers screened citations and extracted data. We graded the strength of evidence using four domains (risk of bias, precision, directness, and consistency) and determined the magnitude and direction of effect by calculating the relative difference between groups in change from baseline. When possible, we conducted meta-analyses using standardized mean differences to obtain aggregate estimates of effect size (ES) with 95 percent confidence intervals (CI). Findings-After reviewing 17,801 citations, we included 47 trials with 3,320 participants. Mindfulness meditation programs had moderate evidence to improve anxiety [ ES 0.38 (CI 0.12 to 0.64

Chronic pain is a significant problem for older adults. The effect of chronic pain on older people’s quality of life needs to be described and identified. For a decade, the Roy Adaptation Model has been used extensively to explain nursing phenomena and guide nursing research in several settings with several populations. The objective of this study was to use the Roy Adaptation Model to describe chronic pain and present a systematic scoping review of the literature about the middle-range theory of chronic pain among older adults. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses model guided a scoping review search method. A literature search was undertaken using MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Ovid, and ProQuest. The search terms were “chronic pain,” “pain management,” “older adult,” “Roy Adaptation Model,” and “a scope review.” The search included articles written in English published for the period of 2004–2017. All articles were synthesized using concepts of Roy’s Adaptation Model. Twenty-two studies were considered for the present review. Twenty-one articles were reports of quantitative studies, and one was a report of a qualitative study. Two outcome measures were found in this systematic scoping review. The primary outcomes reported in all articles were the reduction of pain due to interventions and an increase in coping with chronic pain. The secondary outcome measures reported in all studies were the improvement of physical function, quality of life, sleep disturbance, spiritual well-being, and psychological health related to pain management interventions among older adults. Many interventions of all studies reported improvement in chronic pain management among older adults. However, to improve chronic pain management, nurses need to understand about nursing theories, the context which instruments work, and develop empirical instruments based on the conceptual model.
