SUMMARY

Total knee prosthesis (TKP); It is a surgical treatment used in the management of functional limitations and severe pain occurring on the degenerated joint surface as a result of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis and other nonspecific arthritis. Nursing care is of great importance in the success of TKP surgery. Reducing pain, preventing complications, increasing self-care ability, and improving the quality of life by improving postoperative knee functions are the main goals of postoperative nursing care. In order to achieve these goals, patients and their relatives need to receive training on home care in the post-operative period before discharge. With the increasing use of mobile technologies in daily life and the increasing adoption of e-health, the opportunity for people to improve their self-management skills through e-health is increasing. Mobile Health (m-Health) provides convenience in many areas such as educating the public, warning about potential diseases and disease risks, and communicating with messages, notifications and video when necessary. It also affects the way nursing services are delivered and provides great benefits in the delivery of nursing services. For all these reasons, it was aimed to examine the effect of mobile application-supported care given to patients with total knee prosthesis on functional status and self-care ability.

Treatments
No_intervention: Control Group
No intervention will be made to the patients in the control group (n = 30). Patients in the control group will receive standard care and discharge education provided by the hospital. Discharge training consists of verbal information about the postoperative period. The MMD Scale will be applied to patients who meet the criteria 1 day before the surgery. Patients with a BCS Scale ≥ 89 will be included in the study. Patients will be interviewed face to face and written consent will be obtained. Sociodemographic and descriptive data will be obtained with the Descriptive Patient Form. Discharge day after surgery (3rd day); Functional status level will be measured with KOOS. 3rd and 6th weeks after surgery; Functional status and self-care ability levels will be measured using the KOOS and Self-Care Power Scale, respectively.
Experimental: Experimental Group
Patients assigned to the intervention group (n=30) will receive Knee Prosthesis-M mobile application service for iOS and Android devices, in addition to standard treatment. The MMD Scale will first be applied to patients who meet the criteria 1 day before the surgery. Patients with a BCS Scale ≥ 89 will be included in the study. Patients will be interviewed face to face and written consent will be obtained. Sociodemographic and descriptive data will be obtained with the Descriptive Patient Form. The intervention group will also use the Knee Prosthesis-M mobile application for 6 weeks, starting from the 1st day of the surgery. Discharge day after surgery (3rd day); The level of functional status will be measured using the KOOS. At the 3rd and 6th weeks after surgery, functional status and self-care skills will be measured using the KOOS and Self-Care Power Scale, respectively.
