ITHBC-based nursing program to support self-care after leg varicose vein surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional program builds a postoperative self-management nursing plan for patients with lower-extremity varicose veins using the ITHBC theoretical framework. Participants receive either routine nursing care or the ITHBC-based self-management intervention, which includes education, use of smart devices, and structured follow-up. Outcomes collected include postoperative self-management ability, self-efficacy, complication rates, and quality of life. The study compares these measures between groups to determine whether the ITHBC-based approach produces better recovery and patient-reported outcomes.
