The Effect of Mobile Education on Anxiety and Activities of Daily Living

This study aimed to assess the impact of e-mobile training, structured according to the Life Model, on the anxiety levels and daily living activities of patients who had undergone thyroidectomy. The study was conducted as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled interventional study involving 68 patients. All patients received standard discharge protocols. In addition, patients in the intervention group received Life Model-based e-mobile education through a mobile application. Trait anxiety was assessed before surgery, while state anxiety and activities of daily living were evaluated on postoperative days 3, 7, and 10. The study investigated whether e-mobile education could reduce anxiety levels and improve adaptation to daily living activities after thyroidectomy.
