Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Postoperative Self-Management Scale for Lower Extremity Varicose Veins — Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 month post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention
  This scale was developed by Wang Sumin et al in 2021. It consists of three dimensions: daily living, medical disease management, and self-management efficacy, with a total of 25 items. The scale adopts a 5-point Likert scoring system, with total scores ranging from 25 to 125. A higher score indicates a stronger self-management ability
