Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Mindful Drinking/Eating Group
Mindful Drinking/Eating Intervention: Participants will be individually guided during their dialysis session through: 1) a mindful drinking exercise, a meditation focused on the sensory experience of 3 sips of fluid, along with a discussion of the experience; and 2) a mindful eating exercise with select foods that are recommended for controlling thirst (i.e., hard candy, frozen fruits). Participants will be given directions for mindful drinking/eating and asked to practice mindful drinking/eating as often as possible but least once each day.
Wait List Control
Usual treatment - offered intervention after completion of post-test data collection.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Average of 3 Interdialytic Weight gain measures taken the week after last intervention section (4 week time frame). Interdialytic weight gain is calculated as the patients' weight at the beginning of each hemodialysis session (pre-weight) minus the weight after the previous hemodialysis session (post-weight). Measured in kilograms. Lower numbers are better. Proxy measure for adhering to fluid restriction.
