Abstract

Objective To construct a multicomponent exercise training program for pre-frail patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) and explore its application effects. Methods The final multicomponent exercise training program was developed through literature analysis and Delphi expert consultation. 46 pre-frail MHD patients were selected by convenience sampling from a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between November 2024 and December 2024. And then they were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 23 cases in each group. The experimental group received the multicomponent exercise training program,while the control group received conventional care. Frailty-related indicators were compared between the two groups. Results The constructed program included 4 first-level items,10 second-level items,and 25 third-level items. The preliminary application results of the program showed that the incidence of frailty was 26.1% in the control group and 4.3% in the experimental group. The experimental group was superior to the control group in frailty total score,grip strength,physical activity,and fatigue(P<0.05). Conclusion The multicomponent exercise training program constructed in this study helps to reduce the occurrence of frailty,enhance the grip strength and physical activity levels,and alleviate fatigue in MHD patients.
