Descrição detalhada
Renal transplant recipients have to integrate preventive behaviours into their everyday lives. From the literature it is known that patients can only partially adhere to the recommended behaviours. An evidence-based self-management program to support patients in behaviour change was developed with a main focus on prevention of weight gain and increasing physical activity and medication adherence.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the program in patients in the first year after renal transplantation.
The specific aims of this study are:
- Compare differences in weight gain between subjects in the IG (intervention group) and in the CG (control group).
- Compare differences in the amount of physical exercise between subjects in the IG group and the CG.
- Compare differences in self-reported medication adherence between the subjects of the IG group and the CG.
Secondarily, differences in self-reported quality of life, anxiety and depression, and differences in patients' perception of health care provision regarding chronic illness between the subjects of the IG group and the CG will be compared.
Design: Randomised controlled trial, not blinded
Setting and time: The study will take place at the Nephrology Clinic, University Hospital Zürich, from 1 May 2012 through 31 April 2015.
Variables and Measurement: Physical, behavioural, and clinical outcomes will be measured at baseline, before randomization and then 8 and 12 months later. Medication adherence, physical activity, symptoms of depression and anxiety, quality of life and patients' perception of health care provided will be measured with validated questionnaires. Body weight, height, waist to hip ratio and body composition (BCM Fresenius) will be measured at the Nephrology Clinic. Physical activity will be measured with the pedometer StepWatchTM.

Experimental: Intervention
The intensity of the intervention follows a defined algorithm during the first eight months after renal transplantation. Behaviours are classified in three groups:
All patients (group 1-3) will receive an assessment, education and a monthly reassessment. Patients from group 2 und 3 will receive additionally behavioral education and peer involvement. Patients from group 3 will receive additionally a consilium of specialized healthcare professionals such as a nutritionist, physiotherapist, or psychologist. |
Patients participate in 9 sessions during the first 8th month after transplantaiton
