17. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The goal of the Principal Investigator’s program of research is to enhance knowledge about use of quality of life assessment and promote equitable person-centred care, in order to improve services for people living at home with chronic and life-limiting illnesses, particularly kidney failure. The postdoctoral fellowship – employee position will be funded by a 3-year grant. Depressive symptoms are very common among people receiving life-saving dialysis for kidney failure. But depression is rarely addressed or treated in dialysis care. One promising solution is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on improving coping skills and changing negative thoughts and feelings. We know CBT is helpful and possible. But how does it work in dialysis care? Why does it help some, but not all people? Who benefits the most? For dialysis programs to move towards making this solution available to patients, it is important to answer these questions.
