What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates the performance of nurse-administered, hetero-assessed depression screening methods in adults undergoing conventional hemodialysis for at least three months. The goal is to compare different modalities used by nurses to detect depressive symptoms, with the aim of improving early identification and management. The study is conducted in French-speaking centers and involves patients who are on a three-times-weekly dialysis schedule and able to provide consent. Exclusion criteria include dementia, pregnancy, language barriers hindering self-assessment, and current participation in another interventional trial. The overall focus is on whether nurse-led screening can better capture depressive symptoms and potentially influence patient outcomes in this population.
