Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Symptom Management Theory (SMT) will guide this study. A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial (pCRT) will be conducted in one dialysis centre in Nepal. People on HD who meet the eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. The primary outcome is fatigue severity and the secondary outcome are other renal symptoms, occupational performance and health-related quality of life. Intention to treat analysis will occur and will include a change in the primary and secondary outcome. The study will provide evidence about the feasibility and effectiveness of EVEREST for symptom management.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Participant of the cluster randomised to the intervention group will receive both the usual care from their healthcare providers and EVEREST delivered by the researcher who is a nurse.
Energy conservation education intervention for people with end-stage kidney disease receiving hemodialysis
The total program consisting of three educational sessions (at Week -1, week -3 and week -5) and one booster session (week -10) over a period of 12 weeks. Participants will receive individual, face to face education during their regular HD session. Education will be provided over 30-45 minutes for the first session, 30 minutes in the next two sessions and 30-45 minutes for the booster session. The lead researcher, who is a nurse, will deliver the entire intervention to avoid information bias. The simple language will be used, and emphasis will be given on the objectives of each session.
Control
Participants of the cluster randomised to the control group will receive usual care (standard care with no formalised, structured or tailored interventional to reduce symptom/s) from their healthcare providers
No interventions assigned to this group
