Nurse-Led Nutrition and Exercise Program for Hemodialysis Patients
Effectiveness of a Nurse-Led Integrated Nutrition and Exercise Intervention on Quality of Life Among Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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
