Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led integrated nutrition and exercise intervention on improving health-related quality of life among hemodialysis patients. Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis often experience reduced quality of life due to physical, psychological, and dietary challenges.

In this study, participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a structured nurse-led program that includes individualized nutritional counseling and supervised exercise sessions, or a control group receiving usual hemodialysis care. The intervention is designed to enhance patients' physical function, nutritional status, and overall well-being.

The primary outcome is the change in quality of life measured using a validated instrument over a defined follow-up period. The findings of this study may provide evidence for the integration of nurse-led lifestyle interventions into routine hemodialysis care to improve patient outcomes

Conditions

  • End-Stage Renal Disease; Hemodialysis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Nurse-Led Integrated Nutrition and Exercise Program

This intervention is a structured nurse-led integrated program designed for hemodialysis patients, combining individualized nutritional counseling and supervised exercise sessions. The nutritional component focuses on dietary management appropriate for dialysis patients, while the exercise component includes low-to-moderate intensity physical activity tailored to patient tolerance. The intervention aims to improve health-related quality of life, physical function, and overall well-being in addition to routine hemodialysis care.

OTHER

Usual Hemodialysis Care

Participants in the control group receive routine hemodialysis care provided by the dialysis center without additional structured nutrition or exercise intervention
