Summary

This quasi-experimental study evaluates the effectiveness of a digitally enhanced nursing discharge teaching program for older adults recovering from limb fractures. As patients transition from the acute trauma ward to home care, they often face significant challenges managing pain, psychological distress, and daily functioning. This study compares a structured, digitally supported educational intervention against standard hospital discharge care. The primary goal is to determine if the digital program improves patients' pain intensity, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life during the first six weeks post-discharge compared to routine care.
