Brief Summary

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

This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of artificial intelligence-assisted wound care training provided to patients undergoing prosthetic surgery on their wound care knowledge, quality of healing, and self-care self-efficacy. It was planned to include 22 individuals in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. However, considering the potential for data loss, the study was planned to be completed with a total of 50 individuals: 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. Patient Identification Form, Patient Follow-up Form, Knowledge Level Questionnaire, Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale and Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) Scale were used to collect data.

Detailed Description

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

It is crucial to educate patients and their caregivers who have undergone prosthetic surgeries such as TKA and THA about home care before discharge. Therefore, this study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of artificial intelligence-assisted wound care training provided to patients undergoing prosthetic surgery on their wound care knowledge, quality of healing, and self-care self-efficacy. The study population will consist of patients hospitalized in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Erciyes University Health Application and Research Center after total hip and knee replacement surgeries, and the sample will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria. With 80% power, an effect size of 0.776, and a 95% confidence interval, it was planned to include 22 individuals in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. However, considering the potential for data loss, the study was planned to be completed with a total of 50 individuals: 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. Patient Identification Form, Patient Follow-up Form, Knowledge Level Questionnaire, Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale and Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) Scale were used to collect data.

Research data will be collected by the researcher between October 2025 and March 2026. The firstly, begins with the patients' hospitalization prior to surgery, and the assignment to either the experimental or control groups will be determined.

Study Groups

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

Intervention group

The purpose of the study will be explained to the individuals in the experimental group using a face-to-face interview technique, and a patient introduction form will be administered by the researcher one day before surgery. The researcher will then provide patients with visual and verbal wound care training using the "Surgical Patient Wound Care Guide," and the educational materials will be provided. To assess the effectiveness of the training, a Knowledge Level Survey consisting of 10 true/false questions will be administered to patients on the third postoperative day. Two weeks after surgery, the Patient Follow-up Form, Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale, and Quality of Healing Scale will be completed by phone.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

artificial intelligence-supported education

Intervention Type OTHER

The purpose of the study will be explained to the individuals in the experimental group using a face-to-face interview technique, and a patient introduction form will be administered by the researcher one day before surgery. The researcher will then provide patients with visual and verbal wound care training using the "Surgical Patient Wound Care Guide," and the educational materials will be provided. To assess the effectiveness of the training, a Knowledge Level Survey consisting of 10 true/false questions will be administered to patients on the third postoperative day. Two weeks after surgery, the Patient Follow-up Form, Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale, and Quality of Healing Scale will be completed by phone.

Control Group

The purpose of the study will be explained to the control group members, and a patient introduction form will be administered by the researcher using a face-to-face interview technique one day before surgery. On the third postoperative day, patients will be administered a Knowledge Level Questionnaire consisting of 10 true/false questions. Two weeks after surgery, the patient follow-up form, the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Quality of Recovery Scale will be completed by phone.
