Background and Objectives: Spirituality and psychological interventions are effective in
promoting mental health and treating patients undergoing hemodialysis. The present study seeks
to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
before dialysis, with and without mindfulness exercises during dialysis, on the spiritual health
of these patients.
Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental with a control group (two experimental
groups and one control group) and a two-month follow-up. The study population included all
patients on hemodialysis referring to hospitals affiliated to Imam Zaman Hospital in Mashhad
City, Iran, from July to December 2020. A total of 60 patients were selected by a purposive
sampling method based on the inclusion criteria. Then, they were randomly divided into three
groups. The research instrument included a spiritual health questionnaire, and data analysis was
performed by repeated-measures analysis of variance.
Results: The results showed that both experimental groups of ACT before dialysis (P<0.001),
with or without mindfulness plus exercises during dialysis (P=0.004), were effective on spiritual
health in patients on hemodialysis.
Conclusion: ACT alone as an effective intervention can be used in medical centers to increase
the spiritual health of patients on hemodialysis.
