Effects of a Follow-up Based Nursing Care Protocol on Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a follow-up-based nursing care protocol-implemented during the perioperative and post-discharge home care processes-on pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, quality of life, and sexual functions in women who underwent surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the follow-up-based nursing care protocol effective in reducing pelvic organ prolapse symptoms and improving quality of life and sexual functions? What are the comparative outcomes between the intervention group (receiving video-supported education and structured follow-ups at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months) and the control group (receiving routine perioperative nursing care)? Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to determine the impact of the nursing care protocol on patients' recovery, quality of life, and symptom scores over a 6-month period.

Follow-up-based Nursing Care Protocol
Patients in the intervention group received a structured follow-up-based nursing care protocol. They were shown preoperative and post-discharge home follow-up training videos. Post-discharge follow-up interviews and counseling were systematically conducted at the 2nd week (1st follow-up), 6th week (2nd follow-up), 3rd month (3rd follow-up), and 6th month (4th follow-up) to evaluate symptoms, quality of life, and sexual functions.
Control Group: Routin Care
Patients in the control group received routine perioperative nursing care. No special educational videos or structured follow-up protocols were administered by the researcher. Data were collected during the perioperative period and via routine telephone follow-ups at the designated intervals.
