Hasan Kalyoncu University107 enrolled

Overview

Post-operative care for Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) is important to reduce postoperative complications. The transition from hospital to home after discharge is important for LDH patients, as the transition process is flawless, the necessary care is provided appropriately, and follow-up is important. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of transitional model-based telenursing and mobile application-based follow-up on fall risk, post-discharge recovery, mobility, anxiety, and complications in patients who underwent lumbar disc surgery.
