About

This study evaluates the effect of a single cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBI) in a control group against the same CBI plus the strengthening of resiliency skills in an experimental group, on ESRD patients.

Full description

Cognitive behavioral therapy has long been an alternative in the treatment of symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic diseases such as renal failure, however the combination of therapeutic approaches that include not only pathological but also another more positive approach (as the resilient model), represents a novel proposal for the treatment of negative psychological symptoms and improvement of the quality of life in these patients.

The inclusion of the resilient model in a cognitive behavioral intervention serves as a possibility of therapeutic target that could enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
