Purpose: This study was to evaluate the effect of supportive nursing care program for patients with total hip
arthroplasty.
Methods: Forty-two patients with total hip arthroplasty were enrolled in this study from September,
20, 2011 to January, 3, 2012. The participants were assigned to one of two groups: Twenty-six subjects in the
experimental group were provided with supportive nursing care program which comprised of 6 nurse visits pre
and post operation and 4 follow-up phone calls after discharge. Another 26 subjects received conventional
nursing care program as a control group. Hip function, anxiety, and uncertainty were evaluated before the
intervention, and 5 weeks after completion of the intervention. The analysis included descriptive statistics,
Chi-square test, and t-test by SPSS 18.0.
Results: Hip function was significantly increased in the experimental group (t=-3.31, p<.002). Anxiety and uncertainty group was significantly lower in the experimental group (t=7.12, p<.001 and t=4.66, p<.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the supportive care intervention for patients receiving total hip arthroplasty could be utilized as a nursing intervention to improve hip function and to reduce anxiety and uncertainty of patients receiving total hip arthroplasty.
