The Effect of Mindfulness on Emotional Regulations Skills and Quality of Life Among Patients on Hemodialysis

"In the present research, the standardized, theory based MBI was introduced to the experimental group (Smith, 2005). This 30-minute protocol involves a series of activities, including paying attention to and being aware of breath, body sensations, thoughts, and sounds without judgment. This protocol is a widely recognized and utilized method due to its simplicity and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for this study.~Participants in the experimental group completed three weekly sessions of MBI for five weeks during their hemodialysis treatments (Alhawatmeh et al., 2022). Participants were provided with audio recordings of the MBI protocol, which they could practice during hemodialysis sessions. These recordings were delivered via email and WhatsApp, depending on their preference. This audio recording was developed based on the Smith's protocol by a certified study researcher who had a higher degree in nursing and extensive experience in practicing and delivering MBIs."
