Summary

Objective: To investigate the multidimensional effects of an interactive video health intervention on the quality of life and clinical rehabilitation indicators of patients with early postoperative bowel obstruction. Methods: The study consists of two phases. Phase 1 (January 2019-December 2020) involves the development and psychometric validation of a Postoperative Quality of Life Assessment Scale for Early Intestinal Obstruction, with approximately 150 patients. Phase 2 (January 2021-January 2025) is a randomized controlled trial enrolling about 310 eligible patients (aged 18-75 years, with basic cognitive ability, diagnosed with early postoperative bowel obstruction after abdominal surgery). Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group (conventional care, including condition monitoring, basic treatment, and non-structured health education) or a study group (conventional care plus an interactive video health intervention consisting of five modular videos covering disease knowledge, rehabilitation, and diet, initiated 24 hours post-surgery). Primary and secondary outcomes will include quality of life (assessed with the validated scale), clinical rehabilitation indicators (such as obstruction relief time and hospitalization duration), electrogastrogram parameters, and gut microbiota diversity (16S rRNA sequencing).

Conditions

• Intestinal Obstruction
• Postoperative Complications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Conventional care	Standard conventional care including condition monitoring, basic medical treatment (gastrointestinal decompression, fluid replacement, correction of water-electrolyte disorders), and non-structured health education. Represents the current standard of care for postoperative bowel obstruction patients without the additional video-based intervention component.
BEHAVIORAL	Interactive Video Health Intervention	A structured interactive video intervention consisting of 5 modular videos covering disease knowledge, rehabilitation exercises, and dietary guidance. The videos use animation demonstrations, case analyses, and expert explanations, with interactive elements such as Q\&A sessions and polls. Initiated 24 hours post-surgery, patients can self-paced viewing using tablet devices with researcher support.
