Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effect of rehabilitation guidance based on discharge planning, for patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

From April 2019 to September 2020, a total of 210 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University were prospectively selected. All the cases were divided into two groups according to random number table. The control group (n=105) received routine nursing and rehabilitation interventions, and the observation group (n =105) received continuous nursing mode of rehabilitation guidance based on discharge preparation service. Knee function scale and Bathel index were used to evaluate the joint function and activities of daily living of patients at admission, before discharge, and at one month and three months after discharge. The discharge readiness scale was used to compare the discharge readiness of the two groups. According to the data types, independent sample t test, rank sum test, chi square test and repeated measure ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.

Results

Through the rehabilitation guidance of discharge preparation service for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, the patients gradually improved their knee function and activities of daily living from admission to three months after the discharge. The experimental group performed better than the control group in discharge readiness score (t=36.020, P<0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in knee joint function before surgery or discharging(F=1.127, 0.936, both P>0.05). The experimental group showed better knee fucntion one month and three months after the surgery (F=21.069, 10.476, both P<0.01). The daily life activites of the two group showed no remarkable difference at admission or before the discharge(F=0.979, 1.158, both P>0.05), while the experimental group performed better than the control group later in one and three months after the discharge(F=19.463, 33.458, both P<0.01).

Conclusion

Application of rehabilitation guidance based on discharge planning after TKA would effectively improve joint function, daily life activities, thus promoting the patients to return to society.
