TIDieRa item	Description
1. Brief name	ePATHb
2. Why	To compare the effectiveness of a tailored eHealthc intervention (ePATH) on the basis of self-determination theory with standard care. Primary outcome is postoperative symptoms in men undergoing radical prostatectomy. Secondary outcomes are patient activation, motivation, overall well-being, and health literacy over time in and between groups.
3. What materials	User manual (paper) and Web-based mobile app for both patients and health care staff (only available in Swedish).
4. What procedure	During use of ePATH, interactions with health care staff and registration of self-care activities are carried out on an individual basis.
5. Who provided	The intervention was developed as a codesign project with health care researchers, technicians, patients, and health care staff. Researchers with theoretical knowledge of self-determination theory and backgrounds in social and behavioral science, cancer care, and as registered nurses will provide the contact nurses with a training session of approximately 2½ hours. One such session will be held at each study clinic and include how to log in to and use ePATH, how to add targeted information, and how to communicate through the app. All study sites will receive a manual with a written, supplementary tutorial to ePATH, information about the study, the cornerstones of the intervention, the process of enrollment, and a checklist over the contact nurses’ responsibilities regarding enrollment and collecting data from the medical records of participants. The contact nurses also get to practice hands-on during introductory sessions. To ensure the patient’s ability to perform the intervention, that is, self-care activities, patients are provided with a user manual for ePATH, and the contact nurses will contact all patients in the intervention group to make sure that they can log in to ePATH.
6. How	Delivery of the intervention takes place on an individual basis, depending on the patients’ needs. The patients start using ePATH approximately 1 to 2 weeks before surgery, depending on how soon they get their surgery scheduled.
7. Where	On the Web and mobile phone in patient homes.
8. When and how much	The intervention is based on self-care activities and engagement of the patients in their own homes. The enactment of the intervention is monitored through ratings in the app, communication, and follow-up questionnaires. The patients themselves decide to what extent they wish to use ePATH.
9. Tailoring	Contact nurses, in their close communication with each patient, have the possibility to add self-care packages that are relevant for the individual. These packages can be changed and tailored over time.
10. Modification	Researchers have close communication with the contact nurses about adaptions, to facilitate the use of ePATH in the clinical reality. All adaptions and modifications (what, when, and why) are thoroughly documented by the researchers.
11. How well (planned)	Step-by-step inclusion documents have been developed together with each clinic to suit its routines. Inclusion of patients is followed continuously by the research team and there is an ongoing dialogue with the contact nurses about possible difficulties.
12. How well (actual)	Adherence by the patients (how well was the intervention received?), that is, how many performed the suggested self-care activities, how often and how long, is investigated through log data and individual interviews. Dropouts will be described in detail.
