Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the impact of emotion regulation therapy on quality of life, treatment compliance and coping strategy compared to cognitive behavioral therapy in dialysis patients.
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, simple randomization method, on 90 patients receiving dialysis.
Settings and conduct
The experiment will be conducted on dialysis patients in Khurshid and Amin Hospital of Isfahan province. People will be randomly divided into 3 groups. People participating in the intervention groups will receive individual cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion regulation in 8 weekly sessions (2 months). The therapist will be unaware of the outcome variables. The person who evaluates the outcome variables will be unaware of the objectives and hypotheses of the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Referral of a nephrologist with the diagnosis of the need for dialysis No serious psychiatric illness No substance abuse or addiction Having at least a cycle degree Fill out the informed consent form Being between 20 and 60 years old Exclusion criteria: Participating in other treatment programs at the same time Severe physical problems Hospitalization
Intervention groups
The first intervention group receives emotion regulation therapy in 8 sessions as a group. The second intervention group will receive cognitive-behavioral therapy in 8 sessions as a group, and the third group is the control group
Main outcome variables
Compliance, Quality of life, Coping strategy

General information

Reason for update
During the implementation, we realized that dialysis patients do not want to participate in group treatment (due to frequent visits to the hospital). A hospital is not able to cover all the required samples. Randomization and blinding have also been changed in consultation with the project manager and statistical consultant.
