Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Main study endpoints are insights into the use and evaluation of the prototype by THA patients from different subgroups. As such, results will be based on qualitative feedback from patients and care providers, as well as metrics describing participants’ use of the application. The patient subgroups will be taken as a parameter.
Secondary outcome
Feedback from care providers will form the secondary endpoint of this study.
Background summary
Rationale: After a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), post-discharge contact moments with care providers may be scarce. Online resources may offer support, but these are based on the average patient and to optimize their supportive value they need to be tailored to patients’ varying post-surgery information needs and capacities. In previous research, three subgroups were identified that are similar in these characteristics. It is hypothesized that these subgroups can be used to tailor online information resources for THA patients.
Objective: To evaluate tailoring components in a web application for THA patients and to refine guidelines for tailored web applications for patients.
Study design: Qualitative observational study: Evaluation of a tailored web application for THA patients.
Study population: 20 patients (adults) receiving THA in one month; 3 care providers.
Intervention: A tailored web application for THA patients. The web application informs THA patients about recommended activity levels in the first months after surgery using individualized thresholds based on daily step counts. The feedback given by the application is designed in three variants that match characteristics from three different THA patient subgroups defined in previous research.
Main study parameters/endpoints: Endpoints: Use and evaluation of the application by patients and care providers. After each consultation, patients will be interviewed about their experiences with the prototype. Participating care providers will also be interviewed at least once about their general experience with the prototype during consultations. In addition, web metrics will be recorded for each patient to assess usage over time. The patient subgroups are used as parameter. As a secondary endpoint, self-reported health status of participating patients will be compared to a control sample of similar patients (data collected as part of routine care).
Study objective
A tailored web application for THA patients based on three patient subgroups is a) usable for patients and care providers, and b) valuable for patiens by improving post-surgery support.
Study design
2 and 6 weeks postsurgery
Intervention
A tailored web application for THA patients. The web application informs THA patients about recommended activity levels in the first months after surgery using individualized thresholds based on daily step counts. The feedback given by the application is designed in three variants that match characteristics from three different THA patient subgroups defined in previous research.
