ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how personalized support from a specialized physical activity teacher and an advanced practice nurse can help people who are on hemodialysis (a treatment for kidney failure) to be more active at home. The researchers want to find out if this support can encourage patients to engage in physical activity, which is important for improving their overall health and quality of life. Being physically active can help with issues like heart health, muscle strength, and even mood, especially for those who may feel tired or weak after treatment.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have been on hemodialysis for less than a year. They also need to have medical clearance to do some physical activity and should be willing to understand and agree to the study's requirements. Unfortunately, some people may not qualify, like those with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant. If eligible, participants can expect to receive personalized support to help them become more active, and the researchers will track how this support affects their activity levels over time.
