Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cardiovascular diseases are among the important health problems that cause mortality and morbidity both in our country and in the World (Sidar vd 2013). According to the data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (2021), circulatory system diseases were the first cause of mortality in our country in 2018 with a rate of 38.4%. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the disease that causes the most death in the world is ischemic heart disease with 16% (World Health Organization,2021).

In addition to acute care, the aim of education in patients with cardiovascular surgery is to support patients' self-care and post-operative recovery, to enable patients and their families to self-manage their care at home, to reduce postoperative complications and rehospitalization rates(Akyolcu vd 2017).

Training can be delivered using a combination of formats including brochures, online, books, audio cassette, videotape, and/or skype (Fredericks \& Yau, 2012). Booklets, brochures, tele-health, and web design methods were used in the training given to patients who had heart surgeries in previous years in our country.

In this study, the training booklet to be used in the education to be given to the patients will be prepared by the researchers. The content of the prepared training booklet will be presented to patients in the form of a mobile application that can run on smart phones with Android operating system so that patients can follow it. With this research, it is aimed to facilitate access to information and accelerate post-operative recovery. In the future, this practice will also contribute to reducing stationery costs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, the training booklet to be used in the education to be given to the participants will be prepared by the researchers. In addition, the content of the prepared training booklet will be presented to participants in the form of a mobile application that can run on smart phones with Android operating system so that participants can follow it. In the content of the mobile application, there will be an interface with the information in the booklet and the video narration of the exercises that the participants should do. This application will be downloadable through the server and then there will be no internet requirement to use the application. The mobile application will be installed on the participants' own phones. The participants will be able to adjust the font size in the application. The participants will see the titles in the booklet and will reach the information by choosing the subject curious about. Participants will also be able to listen to the information in the booklet in the form of an audio recording. In addition, reminder notifications for medications and exercises will be set for participants in the mobile application. In this way, it will be easier for participants to access information, and it will be ensured that participants do not forget participants medication hours and that they do the exercises participants need to do during the day without forgetting. Every day between 18.30-20.30, a questionnaire will be sent to the user to evaluate the amount/time of exercise participants has applied for that day. Thus, it will be ensured that the answers of the participants are sent to the server and the daily follow-up of the participants will be carried out. The device will need internet access to send information. The information sent will be kept on the database and can be easily processed. However, it will be possible to easily access the user's historical information without data confusion. It is planned to store the data on MySql (My Structured Query Language) database. If any update is required to the application, it will be carried out quickly through the server. After the research, the use of the mobile application will be continued and sustainability will be ensured in the postoperative recovery and psychological well-being of the participants.
