The Effect of a Mobile Application on Enhancing Pulmonary Rehabilitation After Lung Cancer Surgery

Официальное название

The Effectiveness of a Mobile Lung Rehabilitation System on Patient Satisfaction and Lung Function After Lung Cancer Surgery

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a mobile application intervention on postoperative lung rehabilitation. The main purposes of this study are: 1. To understand the effectiveness of the pulmonary rehabilitation mobile application in improving lung function. 2. To assess the feasibility of the pulmonary rehabilitation mobile application in post-surgery rehabilitation care. Researchers will compare the intervention group (using the pulmonary rehabilitation mobile application) to the usual care group to determine if the mobile application is effective in lung surgery rehabilitation. Participants will join the study immediately after providing informed consent and will continue for up to 7 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group or the control group. Both groups will receive regular pulmonary rehabilitation during their hospital stay (1 day before surgery and 2 to 3 days after surgery). Researchers will guide participants in the intervention group to use the mobile application for pulmonary rehabilitation exercises throughout the study period. Participants in the usual care group will receive health education and an exercise guide before discharge. Participants will undergo three study assessments: at baseline (within 1 week after enrollment), post-surgery (week 5), and at follow-up (week 8).

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое RehabLung mobile application
  Participants in the intervention group will receive in-person pulmonary rehabilitation during their surgical admission and access to a mobile pulmonary rehabilitation application for self-training. This program begins one month before surgery and continues for seven weeks after surgery. The application is designed to encourage participants to engage in pulmonary rehabilitation exercises from preoperative preparation through postoperative care. It offers guided chest breathing exercises, using vi
• Поведенческое Lung cancer postoperative standard care
  Participants in the usual care group will receive in-person pulmonary rehabilitation during surgical admission, pre-operative healthcare, and guidance on breathing exercises to practice before surgery. They will also receive post-operative breathing exercise prescriptions to follow at home.
• Другое Healthcare interactive Web Platform
  The healthcare interactive Web Platform provides patients with surgical information through animations. This includes an introduction to lung surgery, preparation procedures, answers to common patient questions, post-surgery wound care, and a brief guide to pulmonary rehabilitation.
