| Research Abstract |
Global nutritional assessment indicated that increases in the activities of daily life and dietary zinc uptake on the day of dialysis were important measures for maintainingimprovements in the nutritional status and quality of life (QOL) of hemodialysis patients; therefore, we developed a low-intensity exercise program (stretching and massage) to be undertaken during dialysis. This program, produced on an educational medium (DVD), provides a graded course that can meet the physical functioning and desire of the patientand can be performed at a comfortable self-pace. In addition, we devised a snack food for fortifying zinc levels to be taken after dialysis and developed a diet program based on motivational nutrition guidance. The results observed after the implementation of these programs indicate an amelioration of anemia and an increase power limb muscle mass in patients as well as an improvement in physical functioning.
