Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative video-based mobilization education on postoperative fear of movement (kinesiophobia), pain during first mobilization, and early mobilization characteristics in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Ninety-six participants were randomized to receive either routine verbal education plus video-based education or routine verbal education alone. Postoperative outcomes were assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and standardized mobilization observation forms.

Detailed Description

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

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common orthopedic procedure in which early postoperative mobilization plays a key role in preventing complications, reducing pain, and accelerating functional recovery. However, fear of movement (kinesiophobia), insufficient preoperative preparation, and uncertainty regarding mobility expectations may negatively affect patients' early rehabilitation performance. Providing structured, standardized education before surgery has been shown to improve postoperative participation and enhance patient confidence, yet the most effective format of such education remains unclear.

This randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the impact of a preoperative video-based mobilization education program on postoperative kinesiophobia, pain during the first mobilization, and early mobilization characteristics among patients undergoing primary THA. A total of 96 participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group using a simple randomization method. Both groups received routine preoperative verbal education, while the intervention group additionally viewed a structured mobilization training video developed by a multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, physiotherapists, and orthopedic nurses.

The educational video included demonstrations of bed exercises, safe ambulation techniques with assistive devices, chair transfer mechanics, toilet use, stair negotiation, and postoperative precautions. All postoperative outcomes were measured on the first postoperative day following each patient's initial mobilization session. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK); pain intensity was measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) immediately before and after the first mobilization; and mobilization characteristics (duration, number of steps, activity level, and level of assistance required) were recorded using a standardized observation form.

The aim of the study was to determine whether video-based preoperative education provides measurable benefits compared with routine verbal instruction alone. By focusing on both psychological (kinesiophobia) and physical (pain and mobilization performance) outcomes, this trial seeks to contribute new evidence to the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation and to support more effective perioperative education strategies in THA care. No adverse events related to the intervention were reported.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study uses a parallel assignment design in which participants are randomly allocated to either an intervention group receiving preoperative video-based mobilization education or a control group receiving standard verbal education. Both groups are followed concurrently, and no crossover occurs between groups. Outcomes are assessed on the first postoperative day.
Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Due to the nature of the intervention (video-based education), neither participants nor care providers could be blinded. Outcome assessment was conducted by a researcher who was not involved in randomization; however, full blinding was not feasible.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Participants in this arm receive routine preoperative verbal education plus a structured video-based mobilization training. The video includes demonstrations of bed exercises, mobilization with assistive devices, chair transfer techniques, toilet use, stair negotiation, and postoperative precautions.
