Trial summary

Depression is second in frequency only to hypertension as a comorbid condition for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients. The presence of depression has been linked to lower quality of life, more medical comorbidities and shorter lifespan. Read more about this study

About this study

Depression is second in frequency only to hypertension as a comorbid condition for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients. The presence of depression has been linked to lower quality of life, more medical comorbidities and shorter lifespan. This project represents the first known attempt at a standardized intervention for depression in ethnically diverse ESRD patients. The study will be conducted at the Parkside Center for Dialysis. Patients will be randomly selected for screening until 80 subjects meet entry criteria and agree to be randomized. Once subjects are screened and enrolled in the study they are randomly assigned to either a treatment or wait-list control condition. After 3 months, the intervention will be completed and both groups will be reassessed. After an additional 3 months, both groups will have received the intervention and pre and post measures for both groups will be available as well as 3 month follow-up for the 1st intervention group.

The following measures will be collected: to obtain a full DSM-IV diagnosis the SCID I and SCID II will be utilized. The BDI will provide a self-report measure of depression. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a measure designed specifically for medically ill patients, will also be administered. Additionally, the Young Schema Questionnaire, a measure which seeks to identify maladaptive (both depressive and anxious) cognitive styles, will be administered. A quality of life measure designed specifically for dialysis patients (KDQOL-SF) will also be given as a means of measuring patient's overall coping and functioning. To better understand the patient's perceptions of their health and illness the Illness Effects Questionnaire will be administered. A demographic information sheet will be completed by the subject in which personal, ethnic, and illness information is collected. Detailed information about the subject's mental health history and treatment as well as current medications will be gathered. Data from routine dialysis laboratories (hemoglobin, creatinine, albumin, Kt/V) will be extracted from the chart.

The intervention will take place in individual format while the subjects are being dialyzed. The intervention will be 10 sixty minute -long weekly sessions spread over not more than 3 months. It will include both cognitive and behavioral skills focused on alleviating depressive affect and identifying maladaptive patterns of thought and behavior. This study would lay the groundwork for future clinical research by helping to develop a culturally competent clinical intervention and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of adapting psychosocial intervention for a medically complex culturally diverse population.
