This quasi-experimental analysis, conducted in 2023, engaged 28 hemodialysis patients in Garut, Indonesia. Subjects were randomly assigned to the control (n = 14) and intervention (n = 14) groups, The intervention was performed in case group as 4 training sessions during 2 weeks based on coaching support. IDWG values were rechecked before and after intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, applying dependent and independent t-tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. The mean scores of IDWG values showed statistically difference before and after intervention in the intervention group (p-value < 0.05)). Additionally, the mean scores of IDWG values showed statistically difference in intervention group and control group (p-value < 0.05) following the two-week session. Coaching Support Method can be done as an effective method in hemodialysis patient for reducing IDWG values in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis.
