Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a video-assisted discharge education program on activities of daily living, functionality, and patient satisfaction after total hip replacement (THR) surgery.

Methods: This study included 31 participants who were randomly divided in the physiotherapy (PT) group (n=18), and the video-assisted discharge education (VADE) group (n=13). Both groups received a physiotherapy program. VADE group was additionally received VADE program. In both groups, all education programs were given face to face. Data were collecting using visual analog scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADL), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire at 1st week and 3rd month.

Practice Implications: The current study has contributed to the development of video-assisted health technologies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a common surgical procedure performed in patients who do not respond to long-term conservative treatment to reduce high pain sensation and movement limitation in the joint (Li and Xu, 2018). Physiotherapy and rehabilitation routinely applied to regain functional independence in daily living, restore pain and joint range of motion, eliminate muscle weakness, regulate walking pattern, prevent falls, loosening, revision surgery and dislocations in the prosthesis, increase participation in activities of daily living (ADL), quality of life (QoL) and patient satisfaction levels after THR (Louw et al., 2013; Galea et al., 2008). It was determined in Kennedy et al. (2017) that patients have education expectations on recognition of the surgical team, general information about the disease and prosthesis, rehabilitation, pain management, home care activities, complications, medications, ADL after THR surgery. At the present time, with the help of demographic changes in the society and patients, changes in healthcare provision, and technological approaches, discharge education became more effective with video assistance (Abu Abed et al., 2014). The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of a video-assisted discharge education program on activities of daily living, functionality, and patient satisfaction after total hip replacement surgery.

Methods:

The study was approved by the Non-invasive Clinical Researches Ethics Committee (60116787-020/58408) on 04.09.2018. The participants included in the study were informed about the study and informed consent form was signed by all participants. Our study was performed between September 2018 and June 2019.

Of the 36 participants who met the inclusion criteria, 5 were excluded from the study for missing follow-ups or not wanting to participate in the study. The 31 participants included in the study were randomized using systematic sampling. According to last number of file numbers odd numbers included in the physiotherapy (PT) group (n=18), and even numbers included in the video-assisted discharge education (VADE) group (n=13). The first meeting with participants was made in the hospital room within the first 5 days after THR surgery in both groups. Participants and their relatives were given physiotherapy and video-assisted discharge education by the same physiotherapist without being told which group they were in.

The physiotherapy program given to the PT group included breathing exercises, positioning, hip range of motion and strengthening exercises, and information about walking and ambulation. The whole program was taught verbally and practically to participants and their relatives. Information was given about the exercises to be added at the end of the first week and in the 4th week. A physiotherapy booklet prepared with the same content was given to the participants. The booklet was examined by the patient and relatives, and the questions they asked were answered by the same physiotherapist. The participants were informed that they should continue the exercises for 12 weeks.

VADE group received video-assisted discharge education in addition to the physiotherapy program given to the PT group on the same day by the same physiotherapist. The VADE program included information about THR, preventive rehabilitation approaches, transfer activities, using stairs, self-care activities, home settings by modifying the treatment and discharge protocols of Lucas (2008). VADE was prepared as a presentation of written information and videos which is shown this information by a professional model. Video shoots were done by a physiotherapist experienced in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation after THR surgery. The presentation was stopped when participants have questions or have points were not understood and the necessary explanations were shown verbally and practically. Along with the physiotherapy booklet, the participants were given an educational booklet containing written and visual information prepared in the same content as VADE. The booklet was examined by the patient and relatives during VADE, and the questions they asked were answered by the same physiotherapist.

Patient interviews were completed in approximately 30 minutes in the PT group and approximately 45 minutes in the VADE group. A healthy person was used to prevent damage to the hip joints of those who had undergone surgery in photographs and videos in the VADE and booklets. In the booklets, easily understandable sentences were used by participants and their relatives. Booklets were prepared in Arial font and 11-point size. All participants were called by phone every 15 days for 12 weeks, and their participation in the exercises and ADL was followed.

Assessments were performed within the first 5 days after the THR surgery (Descriptive Information, Pain, Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire) in the hospital room after physiotherapy and VADE programs, and at the 3rd-month control (Pain, Harris Hip Score (HHS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADL), Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire) in orthopedics and traumatology clinic.

Statistical Analysis:

In the statistical analysis of data obtained in this study, Windows-based SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 24.0, Armonk, NY, USA) package program was used. It was calculated that the number of patients included in our study was 89% power and 95% confidence for each group. Continuous variables were expressed as a mean ± standard deviation or as a median (minimum-maximum values), and categorical variables as a number and percent. Analytical (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilks test) and visual (Histogram and probability graphs) methods were used to test the conformity of data for normal distribution. When the parametric test assumptions were provided, Independent Sample T-Test was used to compare independent group differences; when the parametric test assumptions were not provided, Mann Whitney-U test was used to compare independent group differences. In the dependent group analyzes; when the parametric test assumptions were provided, Paired Sample T-Test was used; when the parametric test assumptions were not provided, Wilcoxon Test was used. Chi-Square Analysis and Fisher Exact Test were used compare differences between categorical variables
