In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with mild-to-moderate depression, adding mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to conventional care improved mental health, sleep quality, and quality of life more than conventional care alone. After matching, 35 patients received MBSR plus conventional management and 35 received only conventional management. The MBSR group had lower depression and better sleep scores, and higher scores for psychological resilience, mindfulness, and overall quality of life. MBSR appears to benefit psychological well-being in this population.
