Abstract

Objective To study the effect of training combined with continuous nursing care for patients undertaking hip replacement. Methods 40 patients undertaking hip replacement at our hospital from Julyto December, 2015 were set as a control group and 40 from January to June, 2016 an experimental group. The control group received routine nursing care, including rehabilitation training and discharge instructions; in addition, the experiment group were given health education cards, WeChat video health education, and continuous nursing care after discharge, including SMS notification, telephone follow-up, WeChat public platform, standardized household health education, and postoperative psychological nursing care and technological guidance. The awareness of health education knowledge when discharge was compared between these two groups. When discharge and 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, the life capacity scores were compared between these two groups. Results The Harris scores 1, 3, and 6 months after operation were much better and the awareness rate of health education knowledge was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions Rehabilitation training combined with continuous nursing care for patients undertaking hip replacement can improve the patient's hip mobility and self-care ability and quality of life.
