Brief Summary

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

Total knee prosthesis (TKP); It is a surgical treatment used in the management of functional limitations and severe pain occurring on the degenerated joint surface as a result of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis and other nonspecific arthritis. Nursing care is of great importance in the success of TKP surgery. Reducing pain, preventing complications, increasing self-care ability, and improving the quality of life by improving postoperative knee functions are the main goals of postoperative nursing care. In order to achieve these goals, patients and their relatives need to receive training on home care in the post-operative period before discharge. With the increasing use of mobile technologies in daily life and the increasing adoption of e-health, the opportunity for people to improve their self-management skills through e-health is increasing. Mobile Health (m-Health) provides convenience in many areas such as educating the public, warning about potential diseases and disease risks, and communicating with messages, notifications and video when necessary. It also affects the way nursing services are delivered and provides great benefits in the delivery of nursing services. For all these reasons, it was aimed to examine the effect of mobile application-supported care given to patients with total knee prosthesis on functional status and self-care ability.

Detailed Description

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

The population of the research will consist of patients who underwent total knee prosthesis (TKP) surgery in Sinop Atatürk State Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Service between March 2024 and March 2025. The sample will consist of a total of 60 patients, 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group, who meet the inclusion criteria for the study. Patients who are 18 years of age or older, literate, have undergone unilateral total knee prosthesis for the first time, have a smartphone, have a score of 89 or above on the "Mobile Learning Readiness (MLD) Scale" and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study. Research data will be collected three times: on the day of discharge, 3rd week and 6th week after surgery, using the Descriptive Patient Form, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Self-Care Power Scale. Individuals with TKP in the intervention group will be asked to use the Knee Prosthesis Mobile application (Knee Prosthesis-M) for six weeks. During this process, individuals with TKP in the control group will be ensured to receive standard care. All interviews will be conducted face to face.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

No intervention will be made to the patients in the control group (n = 30). Patients in the control group will receive standard care and discharge education provided by the hospital. Discharge training consists of verbal information about the postoperative period. The "MMD Scale" will be applied to patients who meet the criteria 1 day before the surgery. Patients with a "BCS Scale" ≥ 89 will be included in the study. Patients will be interviewed face to face and written consent will be obtained. Sociodemographic and descriptive data will be obtained with the "Descriptive Patient Form". Discharge day after surgery (3rd day); Functional status level will be measured with KOOS. 3rd and 6th weeks after surgery; Functional status and self-care ability levels will be measured using the KOOS and Self-Care Power Scale, respectively.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental Group

Patients assigned to the intervention group (n=30) will receive "Knee Prosthesis-M" mobile application service for iOS and Android devices, in addition to standard treatment. The "MMD Scale" will first be applied to patients who meet the criteria 1 day before the surgery. Patients with a "BCS Scale" ≥ 89 will be included in the study. Patients will be interviewed face to face and written consent will be obtained. Sociodemographic and descriptive data will be obtained with the "Descriptive Patient Form". The intervention group will also use the "Knee Prosthesis-M" mobile application for 6 weeks, starting from the 1st day of the surgery. Discharge day after surgery (3rd day); The level of functional status will be measured using the KOOS. At the 3rd and 6th weeks after surgery, functional status and self-care skills will be measured using the KOOS and Self-Care Power Scale, respectively.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the early phase of mobile application development, qualitative interviews will be conducted with patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experience regarding their own surgery experiences. A training booklet for "Knee prosthesis-M" will be created, taking into account the literature and patient feedback. Then, the "Knee prosthesis-M" application design will be completed. One day before surgery; Written consent will be obtained from patients who meet the criteria via an "Informed Consent Form". Patients in the intervention group will access the "Knee Prosthesis-M" application from their smartphones and will be asked to use it actively for 6 weeks, starting from the 1st day of the surgery. Mobile application-supported care will be provided to the patients by sending information, warning and reminder messages to the patients for 6 weeks.
