The transition to hemodialysis is a critical period characterized by lifestyle disruption and multidimensional adaptation. A successful transition is essential for sustaining long-term physical and psychological well-being. It requires adapting to new routines, forming supportive relationships, and developing self-management skills. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a hybrid transition program integrating face-to-face and digital components for patients newly initiated on in-center hemodialysis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A multicenter quasi-experimental study was conducted at two dialysis centers in South Korea. Patients who had received hemodialysis for less than 36 months were recruited between December 2023 and March 2024. Of 57 participants, 30 were assigned to the intervention group and 27 to the control group. The intervention group participated in an 8-week hybrid program consisting of in-person education and mobile application support, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and 4-week follow-up (T2). The primary outcome was transition to hemodialysis.
