Abstract

Anxiety and Depression among patients receiving renal replacement therapy may be caused by health threats or triggers. Helping these patients to reduce their anxiety and depression are important. This quasi-experimental research was conducted to determine the effects of a cognitive and behavioral therapy program on the anxiety and depression among patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in a hospital. Sixty-six patients with a moderate to severe level of anxiety and mild to severe level of depression were randomly and equally assigned to either the experimental or control group, 33 patients in each group. The experimental group participated in the cognitive behavioral therapy program for eight sessions on four weeks, whereas those in the control group received only usual care. Program evaluation was determined by self-reported questionnaires before and after completion of the program. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics t-test.

The results showed that after the experiment, the mean scores for anxiety and depression in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the experiment and those of the control group (p<.05).
