Health Coaching for Self-Management in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
Sponsor: Anhui Medical University
Summary
This study is a quasi-experimental study designed to evaluate the effects of a health coaching intervention on self-management ability in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis will be recruited from the hemodialysis center of the study hospital. Participants in the intervention group will receive a structured health coaching intervention in addition to routine care, while participants in the control group will receive routine care. The intervention aims to improve patients' self-management ability by providing individualized health education, goal setting, self-management guidance, follow-up support, and feedback. The main outcome of this study is self-management ability. Secondary outcomes may include self-efficacy, disease knowledge, and treatment adherence.

Interventions
Health Coaching
The health coaching intervention is a structured 6-month behavioral intervention delivered in addition to routine treatment and nursing care. It includes face-to-face communication during dialysis and follow-up support via a WeChat group. The intervention follows eight steps: contact, observation, education, reinforcement, clarification, assistance, encouragement, and guidance. Main components include individualized assessment, hemodialysis-related health education, teach-back-based knowledge reinforcement, individualized goal setting, action planning, health diary recording, family support, feedback on goal achievement, behavioral encouragement, emotional support, and long-term self-management guidance.
Routine Care
Routine care includes regular maintenance hemodialysis, routine treatment and nursing care, basic health education, dietary and fluid management guidance, vascular access care guidance, medication guidance, and answers to patients' health-related questions as needed during the 6-month study period.
