AI-Personalized Discharge Education for Patients After Lung Cancer Surgery

About this study

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of artificial intelligence (AI)-personalized discharge education on discharge teaching quality and recovery outcomes in patients after lung cancer surgery. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an intervention group or a control group. The control group will receive routine discharge education, including verbal instructions and a standardized printed discharge booklet. The intervention group will receive the same routine education plus an AI-generated personalized discharge guidance plan based on individual clinical and care-related information. All AI-generated content will be reviewed by a responsible nurse before being provided to participants. The primary outcome is the quality of discharge teaching measured on the day of discharge. Secondary outcomes include self-efficacy for postoperative rehabilitation management and quality of life assessed one month after discharge.
