Results

The QIDS-J score for the intervention group was 5.87 +/- 4.67 at baseline and 3.93 +/- 3.20 after two months, while the non-intervention group was 5.40 +/- 4.61 at baseline and 7.13 +/- 5.99 after two months, showing a tendency for the intervention group's QIDS-J score to decrease.
A comparison after the start of exercise therapy corrected for measurements before the start of exercise therapy revealed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).

Baseline Characteristics

The subjects were outpatient dialysis patients attending Hospital A who met the following criteria:

1) They have understanding and cooperation with exercise therapy.

2) They are between 60 and 75 years old.

3) They have no history of hospitalization within the past month.

4) Their condition is stable.

5) They have started hemodialysis therapy by the end of March 2023.

On the other hand, the exclusion criteria for subjects were set with reference to the American College of Sports Medicine's guidelines on exercise prescription from the perspective of risk management (American College of Sports Medicine, 2016). Patients who met absolute contraindications for exercise therapy in renal rehabilitation were excluded.

2. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria for Subjects
1) Inclusion Criteria

The subjects of this study were patients who met all of the following criteria:

They have started hemodialysis therapy by the end of March 2023.

They are between 60 and 75 years old.

They have understanding and cooperation with exercise therapy.

They have no history of hospitalization within the past month.
Hemodialysis is being performed stably and there is no history of psychiatric disorders such as depression.

2) Exclusion criteria

Patients who meet the following criteria were excluded from this study.

Patients for whom exercise therapy is contraindicated or whose doctor judges it should be avoided

Absolute contraindications (American Heart Association):

(a) Acute myocardial infarction within 2 days

(b) Unstable angina that has not been stabilized by medical treatment

(c) Uncontrolled arrhythmia, heart failure, or aortic stenosis

(d) Psychiatric disorders that make communication difficult

(e) Acute aortic dissection or myocarditis

(f) Patients with a history of limb amputation

(g) Patients with a significant decrease in daily physical activity

(h) Other: Patients whose doctor judges them to be excluded (e.g., fractures, dialysis-related spondylosis, etc.)

Participant flow

A total of 104 people were included in the study, but only 34 met the exclusion criteria. Thirty-one of these people agreed to participate in the study, but one was hospitalized and dropped out. The 30 people who ultimately agreed were randomly assigned using Mujinwari (URL: https://mujinwari.biz/users/login) and divided into two groups: the intervention group and the non-intervention group. This study was conducted on a total of 30 people, 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the non-intervention group.

Adverse events


Outcome measures

In this study, the following four items were measured.

1) Psychological indicators
The Japanese version of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-J) was used to evaluate psychological status.

2) Physical function
The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was used to evaluate physical motor function.

3) QOL evaluation
The Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life (SEIQOL) was used to evaluate the quality of life of individuals.

4) Blood data
The following items were measured as blood data.
(a) Serum albumin (ALB)
(b) Urea nitrogen (BUN)
(c) Creatinine (CRE)
(d) Sodium (Na)
(e) Phosphorus (IP)
(f) Potassium (K)
(g) Hemoglobin (Hb)
