What this trial studies

This interventional study examines a nurse-led intervention designed to address both physical activity and psychological needs in adults with CKD. The program integrates exercise components (aerobic, resistance, and flexibility training) with psychosocial support and self-management coaching. It compares a dual-component intervention to standard hospital care to see if it improves functional status, symptoms, and quality of life. Participants are 18 to 60 years old, on regular hemodialysis or admitted to internal medicine, and able to participate. The lead sponsor is Menoufia University, with the study conducted at Menoufia University in Egypt.
