Clinical Trial Summary

to analyze the influence of the new intervention in the perioperative period and impact on several clinical and humanistic endpoints. In the evaluation phase, an experimental, controlled, and randomized study (RCT) will be developed, with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The CG will receive the usual care and the IG, will receive the intervention for an expected period of one year. This project aims to be the first study to investigate the effect of a long-term specialized case-management intervention (face-to-face and e-health) in patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery during all the perioperative periods

Description:

The "nurse-led case-management" intervention program will allow to improve the management of the bariatric surgery process by patients in collaboration with the health team, with a view to improving health and adopting healthy lifestyles, which enhance better results. This intervention program is expected to be a mixed program with e-health technologies. Behavioural changes will be predictably one of the main objectives, with perception of the barriers and facilitators of them, from the perspective of training the patient for the physiological changes that result from the entire process of bariatric surgery. Thus, it is expected that the primary focus of the program will be health education and motivation for lifestyle changes, the promotion of healthy lifestyles and promotion of physical activity, with a view to improving anthropometric data and metabolic risk factors, as well as smoking cessation and alcoholic habits. As such, the contribution of a multidisciplinary team that is managed by a case-manager appears to be the most efficient intervention, and this activity aims to determine the set of procedures and their temporal sequence, the skills of the team, the flow of patients through the different elements of the team and the duration of the program.

• NURLIFE
After the first consultation with the surgeon, the patients will be referred to the case manager, who will carry out the first face-to-face consultation, with consequent monitoring and clarification of identified needs, following the flowchart in figure 3, being referred to the different specialties, psychology, nutrition and nursing, fostering the case manager as the central pillar of the process, which will monitor each process individually, namely the number of consultations and necessary referrals.
