Fear of Other Medical Care Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Mobilization Training on Kinesiophobia and Fear of Falling in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroplasty After Femur Fracture
This study will be conducted as intervention research to determine the effect of mobilization training to be provided to the patient undergoing hip arthroplasty on postoperative kinesiophobia and fear of falling. The project will be carried out with 50 voluntary patients (25 intervention, 25 control) aged over 65 who came to Hospital for hip arthroplasty after femur fracture, can communicate, have no advanced sensory loss related to vision and hearing, do not have a psychiatric history, and will undergo hip arthroplasty surgery for the first time. Data will be collected using a "Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire", the "Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia", and "the Fall Activity Scale". Appropriate statistical methods will be used in the analysis of the data. Patients in the control group will be given routine care during the study. Patients in the experimental group will receive technology-assisted mobilization training in addition to routine care. Before mobilization, a training video loaded into a tablet will be given to patients. Written permission will be taken from the ethics committee and the institution for the implementation of the research and written consent will be obtained from the patients.
As a result of the changes that occur in old age, individuals face different problems and risks more frequently than the younger age group. One of the most important among these is falls, which cause high mortality and morbidity in this age group. Hip fractures that occur after a fall are the most distressing injuries that elderly individuals experience. Hip arthroplasty is one of the treatment methods preferred by patients who have hip fractures after a fall. After hip arthroplasty, elderly patients may avoid mobilization due to the fear of falling and damaging the prosthesis. This can lead to restriction of activities and a decrease in functional independence. This avoidance behavior increases with the fear of falling. Avoidance of movement due to fear of falling is defined as "kinesiophobia". Studies have stated that mobilization training before or after hip arthroplasty surgery is effective in postoperative mobilization. For this reason, it is thought that providing mobilization training to patients undergoing hip arthroplasty surgery will lead to more success in mobilization. This study will be conducted as intervention research to determine the effect of mobilization training to be provided to the patient undergoing hip arthroplasty on postoperative kinesiophobia and fear of falling. The project will be carried out with 50 voluntary patients (25 intervention, 25 control) aged over 65 who came to Hospital for hip arthroplasty after femur fracture, can communicate, have no advanced sensory loss related to vision and hearing, do not have a psychiatric history, and will undergo hip arthroplasty surgery for the first time.
