Abstract: The purpose of this study was to test a social skills and cognitive restructuring intervention designed for adolescents undergoing hemodialysis. A single-case experimental design with multiple baselines across subjects was used. Cognitive restructuring and assertive skills training were incorporated into eight weekly instructional modules. A convenience sample of 6 adolescents entered the program; 3 subjects completed the program. Data were analyzed using visual analysis. Although no striking changes could be seen between pre- and post-intervention phases for self-efficacy and self-report of assertive behaviors, there was a trend toward growth in overall social skills for 2 subjects. Another subject made some obvious increases in all areas of self-efficacy in comparison to other subjects. This study points out the merit of identifying depression as factor in cognitive impairment and the exercise of personal efficacy.
