Comparing the effects of interactive and conventional video education on activation, treatment adherence, and weight changes in dialysis patients: A randomized clinical trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis face substantial challenges in adhering to complex therapeutic regimens, significantly impacting morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. While conventional educational methods offer some benefit, interactive digital tools may yield deeper engagement and sustained behavioral change.

Objective

This study assesses and compares the impact of interactive and conventional video-based education, as well as usual care, on patient activation, treatment adherence, and inter-dialytic weight gain in individuals undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods

A three-arm, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial will be conducted in three academic hospitals in Tehran, Iran. A sample of patients will be enrolled and dist
