Effectiveness of Enhanced Web-Based Health Education on Self-Care Practices and Quality of Life Among Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing TACE
Sponsor: University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City (UMC)
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of enhanced web-based health education on self-care practices and quality of life among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. A total of 252 participants undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive routine health education combined with enhanced web-based health education, while the control group will receive routine health education and printed educational materials. Knowledge, self-care practices, and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after TACE. The study will determine whether enhanced web-based health education can improve self-care practices and quality of life in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing TACE.

Enhanced Web-Based Health Education
Participants in the intervention group will receive routine health education combined with an enhanced web-based health education program designed to support self-care among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing TACE. The web-based program provides educational content on hepatocellular carcinoma and TACE, preparation for TACE, post-TACE care, management of common symptoms, nutrition, medication adherence, warning signs, follow-up care, and self-care practices. Educational information is delivered through written materials, images, and videos and can be accessed by participants during the study period.
Routine Health Education
Participants in the control group will receive routine health education and printed educational materials according to usual care for patients undergoing TACE.
