An Internet-based positive psychological intervention delivered during hemodialysis is feasible and may significantly improve depressive symptoms in this population.
Hernández et al. (2018) studied Hemodialysis with depressive symptoms (n=14). Internet-based positive psychological intervention vs. Baseline was evaluated on Depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) (p=0.04). An Internet-based positive psychological intervention significantly improved depressive symptoms in hemodialysis patients from 15.3 at baseline to 10.9 post-intervention (p=0.04).
