Aim: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive decline in renal function with a reduced glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria. The study evaluates the nurse-led intervention to improve the quality of life among adults with type 2 diabetes on hemodialysis.Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test in a tertiary hospital. A random sample of 110 adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the intervention and 100 adults in the control group was selected for the study in 2017. General linear model and Repeated measures were done to determine the effects of thegroup. Results: A statistically significant main effect (between-groups), within-group (time) and interaction effects for intervention were detected in all the parameters across time from T2 to T3 in the intervention group. Conclusion: Nurse-led intervention had a positive effect on the kidney disease, physical and mental health among the adults with T2D and end-stage renal disease.
