| Abstract | Background: Multiple symptoms occur in people with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis (HD) that adversely affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Energy conservation strategies have been shown to maintain the expected level of energy, reduce the symptom severity, which eventually improves HRQoL in cancer multiple sclerosis populations; however, evidence specific to the HD population is lacking. Aim: To assess the efficacy of energy conservation intervention in managing symptoms and improving HRQoL in people receiving HD. Methods: A cluster randomised controlled trial compared an energy conservation education program (12-weeks structured program) with usual care. A total of 126 participants with kidney failure receiving HD were recruited and cluster randomised based on HD shifts (intervention group, n = 63; control group, n = 63). Symptoms were measured using the integrated palliative care outcome scale renal version (IPOS-renal) while HRQoL was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire. Data were collected at baseline and week-12. Intention-to-treat analysis was used. Results: There were no significant differences in socio-demographic, clinical characteristics, symptoms, and HRQoL score between groups at baseline. A significant improvement in weakness, pain, mobility, depression, anxiety, and IPOS-renal total score was observed in the intervention group from baseline to week-12 compared to the control (all p<.001). Both HRQoL physical and mental component summary scores were also significantly improved for the intervention compared to the control group (p<.001). Conclusion: Energy conservation strategies could be valuable in managing symptoms and improving HRQoL in people receiving HD. Education about these strategies can be delivered by nurses during HD sessions. |
