Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of education and exercise on the quality of life among adults with chronic renal disease (CRD) on hemodialysis post-intervention (4 and 8 weeks). Methods: An evaluative true intervention approach was used. An ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethics committee. A random sample of 150 patients (75 in intervention and 75 in control group) with CRD receiving dialysis was selected based on the inclusion criteria. The intervention group received interactive education and supervised exercises. RAND health-related kidney disease QOL (KDQOL) questionnaire was used. Results: Mean scores for the Kidney Disease and general QOL sub-scales among the intervention group were higher and statistically significant (p<0.01) compared to the control group. Conclusion: Education and exercise was shown to have a positive effect on the physical and mental health among the adults.
