Evaluation of Mobile Education Program in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Sponsor: Akdeniz University
Summary
This study was conducted to determine the effect of a mobile education program and telephone follow-up on the knowledge level, symptom management and quality of life of patients with atrial fibrillation. The study aims to answer the following questions. 1. Does the mobile education program and telephone follow-up have an effect on increasing the level of knowledge in patients with AF in the intervention group compared to the control group? 2. Does the mobile education program and telephone follow-up have an effect on reducing symptom severity in patients with AF in the intervention group compared to the control group? 3. Does the mobile education program and telephone follow-up have an effect on improving the quality of life in patients with AF in the intervention group compared to the control group?

Mobile-Atrial Fibrillation Training Program
Patient Information Form, Atrial Fibrillation Information Scale, Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale and Atrial Fibrillation Impact on Quality of Life Questionnaire will be administered face-to-face by the researcher using Mobile Atrial Fibrillation Education Program (M-AFEP). The application link, individual e-mail and user passwords will be sent to the mobile phones of the participants and the application will be added to the main screens by entering the relevant address from their phones. Participants will be asked to use M-AFEP for twelve weeks / at least ten minutes a week and the frequency and duration of use will be recorded on the mobile application. Participants in the intervention group will be followed up by phone once a week in the first, fourth and eighth weeks and a reminder message (sms) will be sent for the use of M-AFEP. At the end of the twelfth week, the scales will be filled in again through the application.
Routine Outpatient Clinic Care
* Participants in the control group will be given M-AFEP application usage training by the researchers. * The application link, individual e-mail and user passwords will be sent to the mobile phones of the participants in the control group. * Participants in the control group will enter the relevant address of the mobile application from their phones and the application will be added to their home screens. * In the M-AFEP application of the participants in the control group, there will be a short general information section containing information specific to AF, different from the intervention group content. Participants in the control group will continue only routine outpatient follow-up throughout the process and no intervention will be applied.
