Abstract

This study examines the impact of hope-focused motivational interviewing on depression, anxiety, stress, and hope in hemodialysis patients. It is a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial, designed and conducted to comply with SPIRIT guidelines. The study included 46 participants receiving treatment at a single center Akdeniz University Hospital. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and Continuous Hope Scale. The intervention group received face-to-face interviews once a week for eight weeks, lasting 45-60 minutes each. The control group received a one-hour training session on hope. A "tree of hope" was created for each participant to aid in evaluating the interview sessions, allowing them to set goals and identify obstacles and solutions. After eight weeks, a posttest was administered to both groups, followed by a one-month follow-up. The study aims to contribute to the literature on this subject. It was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov in June 2021(NCT04927923). Keywords: Anxiety, depression, hope, motivational interviewing, stress
