Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care01:29

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management

Nursing management begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health history. Key factors include trauma to veins, peripherally inserted central catheters, varicose veins, recent pregnancy or childbirth, surgery, bacteremia, prolonged bed rest, atrial fibrillation, COPD, heart failure, cancer, coagulation disorders, myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, stroke, prolonged travel, recent bone fractures, and dehydration. Review medication intake, particularly oral contraceptives,...
Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:26

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...
Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:29

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:27

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Digital health interventions
  • Mobile health (mHealth)
  • Patient-reported outcomes (PROs)

Background:

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) presents a significant global health challenge with a high symptom burden and reduced quality of life post-discharge.
  • Traditional DVT management is passive and clinician-centered, leading to poor patient engagement and delayed interventions.
  • Mobile health (mHealth) offers potential but requires rigorous usability testing for effective adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop Tpro, a patient-reported outcome (PRO)-based mobile application for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients.
  • To optimize app usability, functionality, and patient-centeredness through an iterative convergent mixed methods approach.
  • To facilitate proactive symptom monitoring, health education, and enhanced clinician-patient interaction for DVT management.

Main Methods:

  • An iterative convergent mixed methods design was employed, including predevelopment and iterative optimization phases.
  • Qualitative interviews with 14 DVT patients informed initial app functions.
  • Four iterative cycles of qualitative feedback and quantitative usability testing (UIUQ scores, task completion rates) guided app refinement.

Main Results:

  • The final Tpro app features gamified symptom reporting, health education, clinician-patient communication, and a peer support community.
  • Iterative testing successfully addressed key usability issues.
  • The prototype achieved high usability with an excellent UIUQ score (mean 89) and 92% task completion rate.

Conclusions:

  • The iterative convergent mixed methods approach facilitated systematic, user-centered development of the Tpro app.
  • This methodology effectively integrated stakeholder feedback into a functional and engaging PRO-based digital health tool.
  • The Tpro app is ready for efficacy trials, offering a replicable model for digital health tool development in clinical settings.
