ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how telephone education can help patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar disc herniation, which is a common spine problem.

To participate, you need to be over 18 years old, able to read and write in Turkish, and have had lumbar disc herniation surgery for the first time. Additionally, you should be discharged from the hospital within five days after your surgery and have your own cell phone. The trial is open to all genders.
