Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Tegal City was among the ten most common diagnoses in 2021. Hemodialysis is a lifelong kidney replacement therapy performed on CKD patients to maintain metabolic, fluid, and electrolyte balance. Complaints of fatigue and cramps are commonly reported by patients during the hemodialysis process. This condition causes patients to reduce their daily activities and increases their dependence on family, which can lead to a decreased quality of life. Education on "progressive intradialysis resistance" exercises was provided to patients to improve their knowledge and skills in managing fatigue and enhancing their quality of life. The education was conducted through lectures and demonstrations, using leaflets as supporting materials. Patients’ understanding of the exercises was evaluated through cognitive and psychomotor assessments. Patients were able to re-explain the knowledge about hemodialysis and the exercises, as well as practice the steps involved in the exercises.
