Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary nursing intervention on interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), anxiety, depression, and quality of life among chronic haemodialysis patients. A total of 132 patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis at IMS & SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, were initially enrolled between February 2023 and February 2024; of these, 120 participants continued and completed the study. Participants were randomly assigned into an experimental group (n=65) and a control group (n=55) using block randomization. The experimental group received structured multidisciplinary nursing interventions—including individualized dietary planning, fluid management education, psychological support, and lifestyle guidance—alongside standard treatment for six weeks. The control group received only standard care during the study period and was given dietary and fluid guidance after study completion. The results showed statistically significant improvements in the experimental group, with a marked reduction in interdialytic weight gain (F=20.05, p<0.001), anxiety (from 12.37 ± 1.57 to 10.6 ± 1.05), and depression scores (from 11.92 ± 1.41 to 10.38 ± 1.23). The quality of life, measured by KDQOLTM 36 scores, improved from 49.38 ± 9.56 to 58.63 ± 6.04 in the experimental group, compared to a smaller increase in the control group. The study concluded that multidisciplinary nursing interventions significantly improved clinical and psychological outcomes in chronic haemodialysis patients, demonstrating its effectiveness as a supportive care strategy.
