Enrollment

160 participants

Start Date

Dec 20, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Metabolic Syndrome Chronic Kidney Diseases

Summary

This study will adopt a 2-arm, pretest-posttest, and assessor-blind RCT design to examine the effectiveness of a theory-based health behaviour change intervention on WC (primary outcome), kidney function (eGFR, primary outcome), dietary behaviour, PA, exercise capacity, and self-efficacy of dietary behaviour and PA among Chinese adults with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. A total of 160 adults with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease will be recruited, with 80 participants in each group. Data will be collected at 3-time points (baseline, immediate post-intervention and 1-month post-intervention) via an online questionnaire survey platform (Qualtrics) by researchers blinded to the group allocation to reduce the detection bias.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALTheory-based health behaviour change intervention

The online individual education sessions are related to MetS, CKD, healthy dietary and PA, displayed in the form of texts and pictures, and online instant conversations via WeChat. The online group music-paced brisk walking training includes a 5-minute warm-up, 30-minute music-paced brisk walking, and 5-minute stretching exercises to promote cool-down. The group discussion is related to current health status, recommended dietary regimens, and exercise and personal goals. The telephone follow-up after the group discussion is to reinforce the predetermined goals and the practice of healthy dietary and music-paced brisk walking, and to provide opportunities for answering any questions related to the practice of healthy dietary and music-paced brisk walking. All the education session contents are based on a well-structured health handbook. The self-music-paced brisk walking is required to be performed for 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week.
