Fatigue severity, measured by a sub-scale of the CIS-fatigue.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The prevalence of (severe) fatigue in dialysis patients ranges between 60 - 97%. Fatigue is a common, subjective and complex phenomenon that has an enormous impact on the (quality of) lives of dialysis patients. Fatigue limits patients’ daily activity levels and independency and is often perceived as a source of stress. Although fatigue is often seen as a side effect of the kidney disease or dialysis treatment, research shows that psychological and environmental factors also affect perceived fatigue. It involves, for example factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, cognitions, coping style, energy-management and social support. Therefore, the treatment of fatigue does not only require a medical, but also a psychosocial approach. Currently, no psychosocial interventions to reduce fatigue in dialysis patients exist, whereas studies on fatigue in cancer, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, brain injury and muscular diseases, suggest that such interventions are effective in reducing fatigue that is caused by multiple (interacting) factors. The objective of this study is to develop, test and evaluate a psychosocial intervention for dialysis patients aimed at reducing fatigue (primary outcome) and improving the quality of life (secondary outcome).

Onderzoeksopzet
T0 - base-line (prior to intervention start)
T1 - post- treatment ( immediately after the intervention period of 16 weeks)
T2 - short term follow up (3 months after the intervention period
T3 - long term follow-up (9 months after the intervention period)
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Psychosocial counseling (intervention group) VS regular treatment without psychosocial counseling (control group). The psychosocial intervention consists of 4-6 individual sessions with a medical social worker (45 min per session) and several practical exercises targeted at better coping with and reducing fatigue.
