If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

First Esther, now Moss-Morris. The BPS brigade seem to think kidney patients are their next soft target.

To assess the potential benefits of the cognitive-behavioural therapy for renal fatigue intervention, secondary self-report outcomes include measures of fatigue severity (Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire), fatigue-related functional impairment (Work and Social Adjustment Scale), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7). Changes in fatigue perceptions (Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire), cognitive and behavioural responses to fatigue (Cognitive and Behavioural Responses to Symptoms Questionnaire), sleep hygiene behaviours (Sleep Hygiene Index) and physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire–short form) will also be explored.

Will they have time left to do the therapy sessions after answering all these questionnaires???

As if dialysis patients didn't have enough to cope with - now they're going to have this crap inflicted on them. I'm appalled.
