As a commitment to our mission of advancing nephrology nursing practice and positively influencing outcomes for patients with kidney disease, the American Nephrology Nurses’ Association (ANNA) is pleased to offer you education about Depression and its role in the lives of patients with kidney disease. Depression is a complex and multifaceted disease which impacts patient’s lives in a multitude of ways. Whether an individual’s depression is negatively influencing the person’s quality of life or it is causing problems with his clinical outcomes, this damaging disease is a concern to the ANNA. By enhancing your understanding of depression and increasing your knowledge of treatment approaches, you will have the opportunity to influence practice and take steps to limit the negative impact of depression in your dialysis clinic.
