Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to develop a highly realistic 3D-printed Port-A catheter upper body model to improve the knowledge and self-care skills of patients and primary caregivers regarding Port-A catheter placement through patient education
Detailed Description: Background Cancer patients often require long-term administration of chemotherapy drugs nutritional supplementation and blood transfusions During these treatments an implantable central venous access port-a catheter is often utilized to avoid the inconvenience of repeated needle insertions for treatment and to minimize the risk of medication leakage Port-A catheters are considered a safer clinical measure However poor care and maintenance of the catheter can lead to complications such as infection catheter damage and leakage which can even result in death The study aims to assess the impact of patient discharge education on their knowledge and satisfaction regarding catheter care

Methods This study focuses on patient education and evaluating its effectiveness It employs a prospective randomized controlled trial with a cross-sectional design and parallel groups The participants are divided into the 3D model group experimental group and the conventional education group control group A total of 120 subjects from the hematology-oncology ward are included in the study The participants are randomly assigned to either the experimental group 60 participants or the control group 60 participants based on the month of admission following a cluster randomization approach

Effect The investigator anticipate that the use of a 3D-printed upper body Port-A catheter model will yield better results in patient discharge education
