Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Recruitment will be performed through Sweden's four transplant centers. Exclusion criteria will include not considering themselves able to spend 3-4 hours/week to work in the program. The study will be performed using a study platform which is previously well tested.
The intervention group The intervention is a support an education program, consisting of 9 modules running over 9 weeks. First, an introductory module is given that involves goal setting, followed by two training modules with information; The first on kidney disease, treatment and self-care in severe renal failure and while waiting for kidney transplantation, the second on kidney transplant-specific areas such as drugs, potential complications, lifestyle advice and self-care before and after kidney transplantation. This is followed by three behavioral components spread over five modules/weeks: acceptance (one module), problem solving (one module) and behavioral activation (three modules), and finally a summation module that focuses on consolidating the knowledge learned during the program. Each module consists of texts, illustrations, short films, reminders to practice physical activity and weekly homework for which the people receive feedback from a contact person. Any participants who are transplanted while undergoing the program will be offered to continue the study with adapted modules. Adaptations involve more relevant examples and information regarding drugs, complications and diet which become more relevant after the transplant.
Waitlist control group The control group will be followed with weekly check-ups for 9 weeks via the study platform regarding well-being, whether they have been transplanted or if something happened that affects their life situation. After the intervention period of 9 weeks, the control group will be offered the same program as the intervention group.

Internet based education and support program for patients awaiting kidney transplantation
A guided internet based support an education program consisting of 9 modules running over 9 weeks. First, an introductory module is given that involves goal setting, followed by two educational modules with information regarding kidney disease, treatment and self-care in severe renal failure and while waiting for kidney transplantation, and kidney transplant-specific areas. Supportive content consist of three behavioral components spread over five modules/weeks and are based on cognitive behavioural therapy principles. The last module is a summation focusing on consolidating the knowledge learned during the program.
Each module consists of texts, illustrations, short films, reminders to practice physical activity and weekly homework for which the participants receive feedback from a contact person.
