Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct and evaluate a trail run for a preadmission education program that prepares patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)surgery. <BR>Design: An evaluation research design was used. The experimental group received preadmission education from the researcher, and the control group received routine preoperative education from the nursing staff. <BR>Setting: This study was conducted at two university hospitals in the Osaka metropolitan district. <BR>Methods: Patients scheduled to undergo THA were introduced to the preadmission education program by their doctors, 1-4 weeks before hospitalization. During preadmission, patients were assessed on the Profile of Mood States (POMS), the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and an information satisfaction scale. After the baseline data was established, the experimental group was given an information videotape and a pamphlet about THA. Both groups were investigated at the preadmission stage, 1-3 days after hospitalization, and 1-3 days before discharge. <BR>Results: All subjects were female. The experimental group consisted of 17 patients and the control group had 18 patients. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the effects of the program. Information satisfaction showed a significant group×time interaction (p<0.001). On the SF-36, role physical and role emotional showed a significant group×time interaction (p<0.10). On the POMS, there was no significant interaction between group and time. <BR>Discussion: Recent efforts to shorten the length of stay in the hospital by providing education prior to the stay may promote the acceptance of shorter hospital stays by THA patients.
