“Together We Stand”: A Pilot Study Exploring the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effects of a Family-Based Psychoeducational Intervention for Patients on Hemodialysis and Their Family Caregivers

This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a family-based psychoeducational intervention for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and their family members. This was a single-group (six dyads), six-week, pre–post pilot study, delivered in a multifamil...

This was a single-group (six dyads), six-week, pre–post pilot study, delivered in a multifamily group format. Feasibility was based on screening, eligibility, content, retention, completion, and intervention adherence rates. Acceptability was assessed at post-intervention through a focus group interview. Self-reported anxiety and depression and patients’ inter-dialytic weight gain (IDWG) were also measured. The screening (93.5%), retention (85.7%), and completion (100%) rates were satisfactory, whereas eligibility (22.8%), consent (18.4%), and intervention adherence (range: 16.7–50%) rates were the most critical. Findings showed that participants appreciated the intervention and perceived several educational and emotional benefits. The results from the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed that a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms (<i>p</i> = 0.025, <i>r</i> = 0.646) was found, which was followed by medium to large within-group effect sizes for changes in depression symptoms (<i>p</i> = 0.261, <i>r</i> = 0.325) and patients’ IDWG (<i>p</i> = 0.248, <i>r</i> = 0.472), respectively. Overall, the results indicated that this family-based psychoeducational intervention is likely to be feasible, acceptable, and effective for patients undergoing HD and their family caregivers; nonetheless, further considerations are needed on how to make the intervention more practical and easily implemented in routine dialysis care before proceeding to large-scale trials.Helena SousaOscar RibeiroConstança PaúlElísio CostaRoberta FrontiniVasco MirandaJaime OliveiraFernando RibeiroDaniela FigueiredoMDPI AGarticlechronic kidney diseasedialysisfamily-basedpsychoeducationfeasibility studyMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1585, p 1585 (2021)
