Digital Application-Based Nursing Intervention

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a digital application-based nursing intervention on improving health outcomes among kidney transplant recipients. Following kidney transplantation, patients face critical, lifelong challenges that require strict adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and rigorous self-management behaviors to prevent graft rejection and mortality. This study introduces a dual-component nursing intervention comprising an illustrated educational booklet and the implementation of the "MyTherapy" mobile health application. The study aims to determine whether combining tailored patient education with real-time digital medication reminders and symptom tracking can successfully enhance medication adherence, improve daily self-management behaviors, and reduce the self-perceived burden among transplant recipients during their post-operative recovery phase.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult kidney transplant recipients (aged 20-65 years). * Patients transplanted between June 2024 and June 2026 who are currently maintained on regular outpatient follow-up. * Patients who have access to a smartphone compatible with the mobile application. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients and family members who are illiterate or unable to use the mobile application effectively due to literacy limitations. * Patients with severe cognitive impairment or psychiatric conditions * Patients with auditory and visual disorders. * Patients with failed graft. * Patients who are lost to follow-up.
