Research

Judith's research focuses on quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease who are treated with dialysis. The aim of her project 'E-health treatment in dialysis' is to assess the effectiveness of guided E-health self-management treatment that is tailored to the individual patient with end-stage renal disease. It is expected that this E-health treatment will result in a decreased impact of the disease and its treatment on patients' daily life. The effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated in a multicenter randomized controlled trial in several Dutch hospitals and dialysis centers.
