Many kidney transplant recipients continue to be affected by multiple symptoms even after their transplant. Mindfulness may be helpful to alleviate some of the symptoms.
Our current study aimed to determine the efficacy of a single session of 20-minute mindful breathing in alleviating multiple symptoms in kidney transplant patients.
Adult kidney transplant patients with at least one symptom scoring ≥ 4/10 based on the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) were recruited from November 2020 to May 2021. Participants were randomly assigned to either 20-minute mindful breathing or control.
Sixty participants were recruited and randomly assigned to intervention (N = 30) or control (N = 30). There was statistically significant greater reduction of the total ESAS score in the intervention group compared with the control group (mean difference = -4.833, confidence interval = -7.837, -1.830, t = -3.251, p = 0002).
Our results provided evidence that 20-minute mindful breathing could reduce multiple symptoms rapidly in kidney transplant recipients.
许多肾移植受者即使在移植后仍受到多种症状的影响。正念可能有助于缓解其中一些症状。
我们目前的研究旨在确定单次20分钟的正念呼吸对缓解肾移植患者多种症状的疗效。
2020年11月至2021年5月招募了基于埃德蒙顿症状评估量表（ESAS）至少有一项症状评分≥4/10的成年肾移植患者。参与者被随机分配到20分钟的正念呼吸组或对照组。
招募了60名参与者并随机分配到干预组（N = 30）或对照组（N = 30）。与对照组相比，干预组的ESAS总分降低具有统计学意义（平均差异=-4.833，置信区间=-7.837，-1.830，t=-3.251，p = 0.002）。
我们的结果提供了证据，表明20分钟的正念呼吸可以迅速减轻肾移植受者的多种症状。
