Integrated Patient Care Intradialysis Programme in Hemodialysis Through a Virtual Health Platform

Summary

There is wide evidence regarding the weak points of end-stage Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in hemodialysis, and they include three intervention aspects: exercise, nutrition and psychological support. Evidence shows that exercise for patients in hemodialysis results in increased survival rate, functional capacity, strength and health-related quality of life.

Additionally, different studies have shown the benefits of psychological interventions and the positive effect of educational programs on nutritional care for patients in hemodialysis.

Despite the well-known benefits of exercise, this kind of programs are not being implemented in the routine clinical care of hemodialysis patients.

Thus, the GoodRENal project aims to promote healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients in a holistic approach that combines exercise, nutrition and psychological wellbeing plus cognitive functioning addressing adult learners. The project will, in phase 1, explore barriers and facilitators of patients, carers and health professionals towards healthy lifestyle (physical activity, nutrition and psychological well being). In phase 2, the project will develop a health virtual platform including these three dimensions of cares. In summary, the project outputs will be:

1. A didactic content in a modular platform to create an educational program for integrated treatments in patients with dialysis
2. A guideline to promote healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients for health care providers
3. A guideline to promote e healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients for patients and formal - nonformal carers

Conditions

• End Stage Renal Disease
• Hemodialysis-Induced Symptom
• Chronic Kidney Diseases

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual reality health platform during hemodialysis

Subjects will play a virtual reality game specially adapted for subjects undertaking hemodialysis. The game will also aim at providing nutritional advice, and improving psychological wellbeing and cognitive function.
