Effectiveness, usability, and patient satisfaction of an mHealth application with an integrated ePRO system following lumbar degenerative spinal surgery: A quasi-experimental study
No significant differences in effectiveness between the mHealth pathway and standard care were found for post-surgery recovery in lumbar spine patients. Usability and patient satisfaction were generally high, though suggestions for improvements were noted. The study highlighted the importance of post-discharge support, suggesting that the intervention provided crucial security and support, potentially demonstrating compassion through nurse-led care.
