Abstract
The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease warrants a greater focus on behavioral treatment approaches to promote optimal health outcomes. A multifactorial approach is needed to regulate fluid intake and reduce interdialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients. Teaching sleep hygiene techniques to people with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease can improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia. Social workers play a key role in promoting patient self-management and quality of life in nephrology settings.
