Effect of Mobile Application- and AI Supported Video-Based Patient Education on Patient Outcomes in Teaching Clean Intermittent Catheterization

The study aimed to determine the effects of a mobile application and an artificial intelligence-supported educational video, developed for patients who will perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), on patients' adherence, levels of difficulty, self-confidence, infection parameters (urinalysis, urine culture, infection incidence), and recurrent hospital admissions.The number of CIC patients who applied to the Urology Outpatient Clinic of Mersin University within the last year was 110. Since no similar study was found, the sample size was calculated using an a priori power analysis with G\*Power 3.1.9.7 software. . As a result of the power analysis, the total sample size was calculated as 90, with 30 participants in each group. Considering a possible data loss (dropout) rate of approximately 10%, it was planned to include 33 participants in each group (a total of 99 participants) at the beginning of the study.Data will be collected using the "Descriptive Information Form," "Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale," "Self-Confidence Scale in Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization," "Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire," and the "Patient Follow-up Form."Patients who will perform clean intermittent catheterization will receive training through a mobile application (intervention group 1) and an artificial intelligence-supported educational video (intervention group 2). Patients in the control group will be trained using the routine brochure provided in the outpatient clinic.
