The postoperative self-management intervention for patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities based on the ITHBC theory is mainly carried out from the following four aspects: (1) Individualized assessment: including the assessment of patients' poor health behaviors, disease perception, and the stage of change the patients are in. (2) Based on the assessment results, provide targeted knowledge and belief education to patients: on the basis of increasing knowledge, help patients build confidence and motivation for recovery, enhance their knowledge and skills in dealing with diseases, and promote the establishment of disease management behaviors. (3) Set corresponding goals based on the patient's condition: Jointly formulate short-term rehabilitation goals with the patient, guide and supervise the establishment and maintenance of the patient's self-management behavior. (4) Creative social support: Create a supportive social environment for patients by providing supp.
Postoperative Self-Management Scale for Lower Extremity Varicose Veins
This scale was developed by Wang Sumin et al in 2021. It consists of three dimensions: daily living, medical disease management, and self-management efficacy, with a total of 25 items. The scale adopts a 5-point Likert scoring system, with total scores ranging from 25 to 125. A higher score indicates a stronger self-management ability
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 month post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention
Self-Efficiacy Scale for Chronic(SESC)
This scale was developed by Lorig et al and later adapted into Chinese by Zhang Meixia. The scale consists of 6 items, each scored from 1 to 10. The mean score of all items is used as the total score for self-efficacy, with a higher score indicating greater confidence.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 month post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention
ChronIc Venous dIsease quality of life Questionnaire（CIVIQ-20）
This scale was developed by Launois et al. in 1996. It consists of four dimensions: physical function (4 items), psychological state (9 items), social activity (3 items), and pain level (4 items), with a total of 20 items. A 5-point Likert scale is used for scoring, with total scores ranging from 20 to 100. A lower score indicates a better quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 month post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention
Incidence of complications
"Record and compare the incidence of complications such as limb swelling, skin ecchymosis, incision infection, DVT, and disease recurrence within three months after surgery between the two groups of patients. The complication rate = (number of cases with complications / total number of cases in each group) × 100%."
Time frame: 3 months post-intervention

Started May 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2026, 12 months after the start.
Of 62 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Varicose Veins, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 72 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 48.
