Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based educational program for scleroderma patients with hand dysfunction. The program includes a self-care handbook and multimedia video resources. The study aims to answer:
Does the intervention improve hand function in the experimental group compared to the control group? Does the intervention improve self-care knowledge of hand dysfunction? Does the intervention improve overall health?
Participants will receive an 8-week program, while the control group receives usual care. Outcome measures include hand function, overall health, and self-care knowledge.
Detailed Description:
The study will adopt a repeated measures randomized controlled trial design (parallel randomized controlled trial) using convenience sampling. Participants in the experimental group will receive an "evidence-based scleroderma hand dysfunction education program" provided by the researchers for eight weeks. The control group will receive standard medical care during the study period and will receive the same scleroderma hand dysfunction education program as the experimental group after the study concludes. Both groups will undergo pre-intervention assessments, as well as post-intervention assessments at the fourth and eighth weeks. The primary outcome measures include evaluating the effectiveness of the education program in improving hand dysfunction severity, overall health, adherence to rehabilitation exercises, and self-care knowledge related to hand dysfunction.
