The effects of a nurse-led HAPA-based discharge planning on post-operative outcomes in urolithiasis patients with double-J stents: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPatients with urolithiasis undergoing double-J stent placement often face challenges during the post-operative period, including insufficient discharge preparedness and difficulties in self-management. Discharge planning can assist patients during this critical period. However, the effects of delivering a nurse-led discharge planning program remain under-studied. This study aims to apply the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model to develop and evaluate a nurse-led discharge planning intervention.
aimThis randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a nurse-led, HAPA-based discharge planning intervention in improving discharge preparedness, self-management behaviors, and quality of life in patients undergoing double-J stent placement for urolithiasis.
methodsA total of 86 patients with urolithiasis undergoing double-J stent placement will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (HAPA-based discharge planning + usual care planning) or the control group (usual care planning). The intervention consists of four phases: assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation, delivered during hospitalization, with a 30-day follow-up post-discharge. Primary outcomes include discharge readiness, self-management ability, and quality of life, which will be assessed at baseline, discharge, and 7 and 30 days post-discharge. Secondary outcomes include complications following double-J stent placement and unplanned healthcare service utilization rate. DISCUSSION: The results of this study will provide empirical evidence supporting the application of the HAPA model in post-operative discharge planning for urolithiasis patients. If successful, this intervention could lead to significant improvements in self-management behaviors, reduce complications and unplanned healthcare service utilization rates, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for these patients.
