4.1. Main Contribution
depression, anxiety, ESRD
DISEASE, ESRD
The main contribution of this work is in showing that, compared with CBI alone, the addition of salutogenic strategies from the resilience model to a CBI (CBI + R) leads to a similar decrease in both depression and anxiety symptoms and a similar increase in perceived quality of life in ESRD patients. Furthermore, in addition to improving the perception of resilience resources in the face of experience of the disease, the combined intervention (CBI + R) facilitated cognitive restructuring and the redefinition of adverse experiences from a positive (resilience) point of view.
