Improving Health Literacy on Chronic Kidney Disease Among Diabetics: the Malaysian Nutritional, Emotional and Physical Health Literacy for Optimal Renal Outcome (My-NEPHRO) Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a health literacy module via mobile application intervention can improve health outcomes and health literacy in diabetics with chronic kidney disease and could include any of the following: diabetic patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease aged more than 18 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are there differences in health literacy between intervention and control group at pre- and post-3 and 6 month exposure to the health literacy module in both intervention and control groups 2. Are there differences in quality of life scores between intervention and control group at pre- and post-3 and 6 month exposure to the health literacy module in both intervention and control groups? 3. Are there differences in renal function(eGFR) and HbA1C in pre- and post- 6 month exposure to the health literacy module between the intervention and control groups? Researchers will compare with normal care to see whether the effect of this intervention is larger than the effect of usual care in improving health literacy and HbA1c level, and impact towards renal disease progression and quality of life in diabetics with chronic kidney disease. Participants will be instructed to access the mobile application weekly.
