About

Many maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients develop negative outlooks due to their illnesses and complications, making their quality of life and prognosis a clinical concern. Effective life management and treatment cooperation are crucial to improving dialysis quality and patient outcomes. This trial aims to evaluate whether management through the "Yueya" mini-program and WeChat can provide personalized guidance such as health education, diet, exercise, medication supervision, and condition monitoring to enhance treatment compliance, quality of life, strengthen quality control in the hemodialysis unit, and improve patient prognosis.

Patients will be divided into a group receiving support via the "Yueya" mini-program and WeChat, and a control group receiving routine care. Clinical and laboratory indicators, cardiovascular events, death, hospitalization, quality of life, and compliance will be recorded and compared between groups to assess the impact of APP-assisted patient management on the quality of MHD blood purification therapy and the prognosis of MHD patients.

Full description

Affected by their own diseases and various complications, many maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients have a negative and pessimistic attitude toward life. Their quality of life and prognosis have always been a concern for clinicians. Therefore, how to adjust and manage the lives of these patients, enable them to actively cooperate with various treatment methods, maximize the quality of blood purification therapy, and improve their quality of life and prognosis has become an extremely important research topic.

392 participants in 2 patient groups

APP management group

Experimental group

Description:

For the APP management group, according to the specific conditions of patients such as age, gender, primary disease and complications, the "Yueya" mini-program and WeChat will be used to provide individualized and all-weather guidance for dialysis patients in their daily lives, including health knowledge education, diet and exercise guidance, medication supervision, condition monitoring and real-time feedback.

Treatment:

Behavioral: APP-based management

Non-APP management group

No Intervention group

Description:

For the non-APP management group, the APP mini-program will not be used to guide patients' daily lives, and only the previous routine management methods will be adopted.
