SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: 14 participants were reflected in the intervention arm of the participant flow module. Only 12 of those completed the AR survey - the remaining 2 dropped out of the study.

Change in autonomous regulation will be measured by the 6-item Autonomous Regulation (AR) questionnaire. Questions range in score from 1 to 7, and overall score is a mean of all items (range 1 - 7). Lower scores reflect less autonomous regulation, and higher scores reflect greater autonomous regulation

Change in perceived competence will be measured by the 8-item Perceived Kidney Disease Self-Management Scale (PKDSMS) questionnaire.Each question ranges in score from 1 to 5. Four of the items (#s 1, 2, 6, 7) are reversed-scored. The score is the sum of the 8 individual items. The total PKDSMS score can range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating more confidence in self-managing one's (dialysis).

Change in apathy will be measured by the 7-item Apathy Evaluation Scale survey (AES-S) which measures three domains of apathy: deficits in goal-directed behavior; a decrement in goal-related thought content; and emotional indifference with flat affect. Each question ranges in score from 1 to 4. Item 3 is reverse-scored and then the sum of the 7 item scores is calculated. Range of scores is 7-28, with higher scores indicating more apathy.

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: 14 participants were reflected in the intervention arm of the participant flow module. Only 12 participants completed the (LOT-R) questionnaire. The remaining 2 dropped out of the study.

Change in optimism will be measured by the 10-item Life Orientation Test - Revised (LOT-R) questionnaire which assesses individual differences in generalized optimism versus pessimism. Only 6 of the 10 items on the revised LOT are used to derive an optimism score. Four of the items are filler items and are not used in scoring. Of the 6 survey questions utilized, each question ranges in score from 1 to 5. Thus, scores in principle can range from 6 to 30. There are no 'cut-offs' for optimism or pessimism; the scale is a continuous dimension of variability between the two with higher scores indicating high optimism (low pessimism) and lower scores indicating high pessimism (low optimism).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 Weeks

Population: 14 participants were reflected in the intervention arm of the participant flow module. Only 12 participants completed the survey. The remaining 2 dropped out of the study.

The Dispositional Optimism items are #s 1, 3, 5, \& 7; The Perceived Competence items are #s 2, 4, 6, \& 8. Items # 2, 5, 6, \& 7 need to be reverse scored. The overall score is calculated by summating the scores after reverse scoring 2,5,6, and 7. The score ranges from 8-48 with 48 being the highest perceived expectancies. The score can also be broken down into the above scales.
