Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Digital Application-Based Nursing Intervention: A multi-component, digital application-based nursing intervention designed to improve post-transplant health outcomes. The intervention consists of two main components: 1) The MyTherapy smartphone application, utilized by patients to receive tailored medication reminders, track post-operative symptoms, and maintain daily health logs. 2) A comprehensive, illustrated educational booklet written in simple Arabic to guide patients on essential post-transplant self-care, medication compliance, vital signs self-monitoring, and necessary lifestyle modifications.
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a digital application-based nursing intervention on improving health outcomes among kidney transplant recipients. Following kidney transplantation, patients face critical, lifelong challenges that require strict adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and rigorous self-management behaviors to prevent graft rejection and mortality. This study introduces a dual-component nursing intervention comprising an illustrated educational booklet and the implementation of the "MyTherapy" mobile health application. The study aims to determine whether combining tailored patient education with real-time digital medication reminders and symptom tracking can successfully enhance medication adherence, improve daily self-management behaviors, and reduce the self-perceived burden among transplant recipients during their post-operative recovery phase.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Medication Adherence — Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months post-intervention
Medication adherence will be assessed using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Total scores range from 0 to 8, where higher scores indicate better adherence levels (high adherence = 8, medium adherence = 6 to \<8, low adherence = \<6).
