Abstract

Abstract With the expected rise of patients with osteoporosis-induced fractures, it has become increasingly urgent to design and use specialized health education materials to ease pain and improve bodily functions. This study designed web-based app for pain relief instructions for women with spinal compression fractures. An observational study was conducted at an educational hospital in northern Taiwan between October 2018 and September 2019. Using random assignment based on their presentation order, we divided patients into an experimental (n = 87) and control (n = 84) group. The experimental and control groups received web app healthcare instructions for relieving back pain and regular nursing care instructions, respectively. Taiwanese versions of the Brief Pain Inventory and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey were used to collect data. We collected patients’ pain rating data the day before, one month after, and three months after providing them with the instructions. Pain intensity differed significantly between the two groups, and it interacted with time. Pain impact did not significantly differ between groups; however, it interacted with time. Relieving back pain is a primary concern for those affected by it. This study presents a consistent, easy-to-use instructional healthcare web-based app that may provide knowledge of pain relief and reduce mobility impairments.
