About this study
Official title: The Impact of AI-Powered Video-Based Discharge Education and Follow-up Intervention on Patient Outcomes and Home Care Management in Colorectal Surgery Patients Receiving Care in Line With the Postoperative Accelerated Recovery Protocol: A Mixed Methods Study
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, affecting a large number of people each year (Bray et al., 2022). Surgical intervention remains the gold standard in treatment. However, advances in surgical techniques and increased effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapies have brought sphincter-preserving surgeries to the forefront, reducing the need for stoma creation compared to the past (Jo \& Wilson, 2025; Wang et al., 2025). Even without stoma creation, these patients face complex care needs in the post-discharge period, including changes in bowel habits, nutritional management, and adaptation to physical activity (Wang et al., 2025). Difficult-to-manage complications carry a high risk of readmission to the hospital. Patients receive limited support during the transition from the hospital to home and at home (Storm et al., 2024). Patients and their families are often left alone to manage home care until routine follow-up appointments. Patients, especially those poorly prepared for discharge, may not know how to perform care practices at home or what to watch out for in case of complications. Situations that are well managed in the hospital can spiral out of control upon inadequate follow-up after the patient returns home, leading to unplanned readmissions. Insufficient postoperative patient follow-up can cause anxiety in patients, leading to readmissions due to the inability to manage the home care process effectively (Storm et al., 2024).
Although accelerated recovery after surgery (ERAS) is known to shorten hospital stays (Gustafsson et al., 2025; Gustafsson et al., 2019), studies show varying results regarding readmissions, re-operations, developing complications, and survival (Coleman et al., 2006; Takchi et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2022). These variable results highlight the need for a structured discharge process and home care management for patients who undergo ERAS and are discharged home earlier. In the study by Takchi et al. (2020), a scheduled phone call was proposed as the final step in advanced recovery recommendations and presented as a pilot study. The study reported that each patient contacted reported at least one symptom and personal care need (Takchi et al., 2020). The scheduled phone calls proposed by Takchi et al. (2020) are an important monitoring mechanism in the recovery process; however, they are insufficient.

Supporting this monitoring process with a structured discharge management and AI-powered digital video accessible to the patient at any time, extends the continuity of care to a digital dimension.
It is reported that AI-powered multimedia tools, whose use is increasing with the transformation in health technologies today, reduce cognitive load by concretizing complex surgical processes with audiovisual materials and improve patients' self-care skills regardless of their health literacy level (Mendoza-Pinto et al., 2025). "Content prepared with generative artificial intelligence algorithms, in particular, increases the retention of information and the patient's digital health literacy compared to traditional educational materials (Zaretsky et al., 2024). This study aims to both structure the discharge and post-discharge follow-up process, which is included in ERAS protocols to a limited extent, and to increase the patient's readiness for discharge, improve patient outcomes, and facilitate home care management using AI-assisted educational videos. Thus, the study significantly points to a fourth step, which is included in ERAS guidelines in the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative phases and is felt to be missing: the discharge and home follow-up process.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Educational interventionBehavioural
A structured discharge education program is supported by video-based training and scheduled follow-up phone calls on days 3, 7, 10, and 30 post-operatively.
Standard maintenance therapyOther
Routine postoperative care and standard hospital discharge education are provided in accordance with institutional protocols. Routine care includes a general postoperative recovery assessment, complication screening, and standard follow-up visits without AI-assisted video training or a scheduled telephone follow-up program.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Active comparator | Routine information, standard care, and follow-up after hospital discharge. Receives: Other: Standard maintenance therapy |
| intervention group | Experimental | A structured, AI-powered, video-based discharge education program is supported by scheduled follow-up phone calls on days 3, 7, 10, and 30 post-surgery. An in-depth qualitative interview is also conducted on day 30. Receives: Behavioral: Educational intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
KATZ Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale
If the individual can do their ADL independently, they are given 3 points, if they are partially assisted, they are given 2 points, if they cannot do it at all, they are given 1 point and the evaluation is made accordingly. In the evaluation made according to this scale, 0-6 points are evaluated as dependent, 7-12 points as partially dependent, and 13-18 points as independent. Accordingly, as the score obtained from the scale increases, dependency decreases.
Measured: Baseline (pre-discharge) and postoperative day 30
Readiness for Discharge Scale
If the scale dimensions score was ≥7, the patient was considered ready for discharge, and if it was <7, it was considered not ready.
Measured: Up to 30 days after the patient's hospitalization date.
Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI)
The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 36 items, scored between 0 and 4. While the original scale included sub-dimensions of symptoms, emotions, physical functions, and social functions, the factor analysis conducted in the Turkish validity study revealed a 7-factor structure (sub-dimensions). The total score obtainable from the scale ranges from 0 to 144. A higher total score on the scale indicates an improvement in the patient's quality of life specific to the gastrointestinal system and an improvement in their health status.
Measured: Baseline (pre-discharge) and postoperative day 30
Secondary outcomes (3)
Day of hospital stay
Measured: Up to 30 days after the patient's hospitalization date.
complications
Measured: Up to postoperative day 30
Readmisson

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, affecting a large number of people each year (Bray et al., 2022). Surgical intervention remains the gold standard in treatment. However, advances in surgical techniques and increased effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapies have brought sphincter-preserving surgeries to the forefront, reducing the need for stoma creation compared to the past (Jo \& Wilson, 2025; Wang et al., 2025). Even without stoma creation, these patients face complex care needs in the post-discharge period, including changes in bowel habits, nutritional management, and adaptation to physical activity (Wang et al., 2025). Difficult-to-manage complications carry a high risk of readmission to the hospital. Patients receive limited support during the transition from the hospital to home and at home (Storm et al., 2024). Patients and their families are often left alone to manage home care until routine follow-up appointments. Patients, especially those poorly prepared for discharge, may not know how to perform care practices at home or what to watch out for in case of complications.
