Abstract

|
|
Total hip replacement is one orthopedic procedure currently being used for hip arthroplasty. In total hip replacement, the femoral head and acetabulum are both replaced by prostheses.
Dislocation of a prosthesis because of inappropriate body positioning is one possible postoperative complication which occurs more frequently in the Korean life style setting than in the west. Hence the importance of pre?discharge education of patients following total hip replacement about appropriate positioning to present dislocation.
This study examined the correlation between compliance with discharge education and hip?related activities of daily living of clients who had had total hip replacements. The purpose was to contribute to the development of pre?discharge educational protocols and eventually to help these clients conform to appropriate hip?related activities of daily living.
The subjects were a convenience sample of 19 clients who had had total hip replacement surgery from 1988 to 1990 at E. University hospital in Seoul. The date were collected by an interview schedule from March 15 to April 17, 1992.
The measurement tools were a pre?discharge deucation compliance score developed from the educational programs used in the hospital and the Harres´ Hip Score which _evaluated hip?related activities of daily living. The data were analysed by an SPSS computer program for percentage and by t ?tests, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Coefficients.
There was a positive correlation between compliance with pre?discharge education and the Hip score(p=0.021).
Age was related to compliance with pre?discharge education.
The state preparation for discharge was related to both compliance with education and the Hip score.
The results suggest that further research of the relationships between compliance with pre-discharge education programs and hip?related activities of daily living for clients having total hip replacements is warrented.
