There are potentially modifiable psychosocial barriers and misperceptions about life on dialysis that hinder adjustment outcomes. It is hypothesized that these may include: poor understanding on what is needed or 'how to implement treatment principles', misperceptions related to disease and treatment, catastrophizing beliefs about impact of dialysis and low level of confidence on ability to manage treatment regime and renegotiate life roles as a "dialysis patient". This study seeks to explore the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial of a group-based intervention (titled HED-Start). HED-Start is specifically developed to reduce psychological distress and support self-care and self-management outcomes in incident hemodialysis patients. Drawing on self-management and motivational interviewing principles paradigm, the HED-Start program aims to facilitate acquisition of skills and knowledge to support and improve self-care and emotional adjustment outcomes.
