Abstract
People with chronic kidney disease often experience challenging physical and psychological symptoms and are at an increased risk of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Interventions have the potential to improve mental wellbeing of people living with chronic illness.
The COSMIC study explored the feasibility and acceptability of the four-week Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) programme for patients living with stage 4 and 5 kidney disease and those who have received a kidney transplant. The study was supported by Kidney Care UK, and utilised a single-group multi-methods approach.
The CMR programme can be considered acceptable and feasible for individuals living with kidney disease. The improvements in clinical outcome measures and qualitative analysis suggest that the mindfulness intervention has the potential to support the mental health and wellbeing of this patient population.
