Summary

This intervention study aims to investigate the effects of the m-Health supportive care transition program on response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) among traumatic brain injury (TBI) caregivers and patients' readmission rate one month after hospital discharge. Specific objectives:

1. Compare the response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) of TBI caregivers before and after receiving the program within the group.
2. Compare TBI caregivers' response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) between the control and intervention groups.
3. Compare patients' readmission rates at one month after hospital discharge between the control and intervention groups

TBI caregivers are divided into two groups: the intervention group (who receive the transitional care program) and the control group (who receive the standard care program) according to standard operating procedures applicable in the hospital.

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare \[insert groups\] to see if \[insert effects\]

m-Health Transition Care Program

The m-Health supportive care transition program is a routine support program for caregivers of TBI patients. This program consists of education and providing face-to-face information assisted by an android-based application that can access via a smartphone, skill demonstration, assessment of the readiness of hospital discharge, as well as weekly monitoring and follow-up after the patient is discharged from the hospital. This application provides education and information on TBI caregivers regarding (a) how to treat patients with TBI at home, which includes wound care and how to provide nutrition, (b) recognize signs of infection in wounds of craniotomy, (c) recognize emergencies in cases of TBI patients at home, (d) stress management, and (e) how to arrange a schedule for the care of patients with TBI at home. This program complements routine care, which consists of education about physical health, TBI medical problems, and how to treat TBI patients at home.
