简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
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.
结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge Level
时间窗: postoperative day 3
The researcher-created knowledge survey includes 10 true/false questions aimed at measuring the effectiveness of Surgical Patient Wound Care Education provided to patients. Each question will be evaluated out of 10. The lowest possible score is 0, and the highest is 100. Higher scores indicate higher knowledge levels. Expert opinions will be obtained from three faculty members with expertise in the field to assess the adequacy of the survey's content and scope.
Self-Care Self-Efficacy
时间窗: 15th day after surgery
The scale originally developed by Yu et al. to determine individuals' self-care self-efficacy levels was modified by Chica-Pérez et al. to assess self-care self-efficacy in older adults with chronic multimorbidity. The scale was designed as a 5-point Likert-type instrument ranging from "1 = I do not trust myself" to "5 = I trust myself a lot." It consists of 10 items in total. In their study, Chica-Pérez et al. reported Cronbach's alpha coefficients as 0.713 for the subscale "Self-Efficacy in Clinical Knowledge-Based Self-Care Behaviors," 0.822 for "Self-Efficacy in Self-Care," 0.881 for "Self-Efficacy in Monitoring Self-Care," and 0.878 for "Self-Efficacy in Self-Care Management." Chica-Pérez et al. stated that the minimum possible score is 10 and the maximum is 50, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-efficacy in self-care.
Quality of Recovery
时间窗: 15th day after surgery
The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a brief postoperative recovery scale developed and validated by Stark et al. in 2013. It is a shortened version of the QoR-40 scale. It is easier to use because it is shorter and can be completed in a shorter time. Like the QoR-40, it contains 15 questions that assess the patient's pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. The test results in a score between 0 and 150, with a higher score indicating better recovery quality. With the latest update, the minimal clinically important difference, that is, the lowest difference indicating a meaningful change, is 6 for the QoR-15.
