Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to determine whether a multimedia educational intervention can effectively improve physical fitness and physical activity levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), while also evaluating its overall outcomes. The study primarily seeks to answer the following questions:

• Can multimedia education enhance CKD patients' cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, and physical activity levels?
• Do patients receiving multimedia education demonstrate greater improvements in health behavior and fitness compared to those receiving standard education alone? Researchers will compare a multimedia educational video program with conventional patient education to assess whether the multimedia approach helps patients maintain regular exercise and improve physical performance. Participants will:
• Be randomly assigned to either the multimedia education group or the standard education group.
• Take part in a 12-week intervention and assessment period.
• Undergo pre- and post-intervention evaluations, including:
• Six-minute walk test, grip strength and chair-stand test, flexibility test, and body composition analysis (BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, InBody).
• Completion of a physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-C). The findings will be used to evaluate the clinical value of multimedia education in CKD management and to support the development of effective patient exercise education programs.

Interventions

Multimedia Health Education BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this group will receive a multimedia exercise education program designed for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The program includes instructional videos demonstrating proper exercise techniques, safety guidelines, and motivational content to encourage regular physical activity. The intervention aims to enhance participants' exercise knowledge, physical fitness, and activity levels over a 12-week period.
