“…Studies in medical literature describe that the introduction of educational tools related to medication in health care organizations is linked to a decrease in hospitalization, admissions into emergency rooms, and readmissions [ 15 ]. Patients nowadays have a very close relationship with technology, as has been shown in various published studies that prove the use of apps improves health management [ 16 , 17 ]. Mobile health (mHealth) has opened the doors to new forms of relationships between nurses and patients, providing numerous benefits for both parties with regard to accessibility and optimization of time in office and improvement of therapeutic adherence.…”

Background Considering the prognosis of femur fractures worldwide, the ageing of our society, and the problems in adherence to treatment found in these patients, it is believed that mobile health can have a positive impact on the process and quality of care. Objective We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention with Myplan app with regard to knowledge, adherence to pharmacological treatment, and positive mental health of patients with femur fractures. Methods A nonrandomized, quasi-experimental study will be carried out with a pretest-posttest control group. It will include 278 older patients diagnosed with femur fractures, with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 15 and access to mobile devices. Patients with psychological pathologies and cognitive impairment or patients treated in isolation will be excluded. Study variables are as follows: sociodemographic variables (AdHoc Form), patient experience (Patient Experience Questionnaire-15), adherence to pharmacological treatment (Morisky-Green questionnaire), and positive mental health (Positive Mental Health questionnaire). The measurements will be taken 24 hours after admission, upon discharge, and 25 days after discharge. Results Enrollment commenced in October 2022. Data collection will be completed in April 2023. Conclusions The results of this study will offer evidence of the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention by means of a free smartphone app. If its efficacy is demonstrated and the results are acceptable, it could mean an improvement in the care of patients with femur fractures, and this technology could be used to guide other training interventions in patients with other pathologies.

OBJECTIVE We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention with Myplan App with regards to knowledge, adherence to pharmacological treatment and positive mental health of patients with a femur fracture. METHODS A non-randomized, quasi-experimental study will be carried out with a Pretest-Posttest control group. It will include 278 elderly patients diagnosed with femur fracture and a GCS of 15, with access to mobile devices. Patients with psychological pathologies, cognitive impairment or treated in isolation will be excluded. Study variables; sociodemographic (adhoc form), patient experience (Patient Experience Questionnaire-15), adherence to pharmacological treatment (Morisky-Green questionnaire), positive mental health (Positive Mental Health questionnaire). The measurements will be taken 24 hours after admission, upon discharge, and 25 days after discharge. RESULTS Enrollment was initiated in October 2022 and will be completed in April 2023. The main contribution of this protocol is a detailed description of a nursing intervention with the support of a smartphone app that will generate knowledge about patients’ experience, their adherence, and their positive mental health. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study will offer evidence of the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention by means of a free smartphone app. If its efficacy is demonstrated and the results are acceptable, it could mean an improvement in the care of patients with femur fractures and this technology could be used to guide other training interventions in patients with other pathologies. CLINICALTRIAL The protocol is registered in IRRID: NCTT05669040.
