About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention guided by the IFSMT, in which structured education and digitally delivered reinforcement strategies are designed to enhance self-management processes, including knowledge and beliefs, self-regulation skills, and social facilitation, among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The intervention, delivered via a mobile platform three times daily over two months, seeks to improve fluid control adherence and hemodialysis self-management behaviours, and to reduce interdialytic weight gain and stabilise pre-hemodialysis mean arterial pressure, compared with standard education alone.
