A qualitative study explored the experiences of people with advanced kidney disease who participated in the Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) programme. Nineteen participants (stage 4 or 5 kidney disease or transplant recipients) took part in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis yielded three themes: experiences of the CMR programme that facilitated subjective benefit, participants' lived and shared experiences, and practicalities of participation. All participants reported the programme as beneficial. The CMR programme proved an acceptable intervention, providing tools that support mental health and wellbeing for this patient group.
