Problem-solving therapy to improve depression scores among older hemodialysis patients: a pilot randomized trial.

Aims: Depression is common among dialysis patients and is associated with adverse outcomes.

We investigated the feasibility and satisfaction of PST and its impact on depression scores among older HD patients.
