Sponsor: Anhui Medical University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

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.

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.
