This study aimed at evaluating the effect of a preoperative interdisciplinary educational intervention on understanding postoperative expectations following a total joint arthroplasty. The study sample consisted of 156 patients scheduled for elective total joint replacement surgery. The approach for this study was a two-group quasi-experimental design. The treatment group received an additional interdisciplinary educational session whereas the control group did not. Subjects who chose to attend the program were compared with those who received standard outpatient teaching in the preadmission testing center. Subjects who received the interdisciplinary teaching intervention were significantly better at verbalizing and demonstrating postoperative skills, and they rated all aspects of the interdisciplinary educational session as very satisfactory. The study demonstrated that the preoperative interdisciplinary educational program for patients scheduled for total joint replacement surgery had a positive effect on the understanding of postoperative expectations. The educational sessions have continued providing an option that will enhance preoperative education.
本研究旨在评估术前多学科教育干预对全关节置换术后患者理解术后预期的影响。研究样本包括156例计划接受择期全关节置换手术的患者。本研究采用两组准实验设计。治疗组接受了额外的多学科教育课程，而对照组未接受。选择参加该项目的受试者与在入院前检测中心接受标准门诊教学的受试者进行了比较。接受多学科教学干预的受试者在术后技能的表达和演示方面明显更好，并且他们对多学科教育课程的各个方面都给予了非常满意的评价。该研究表明，为计划进行全关节置换手术的患者开展的术前多学科教育项目对术后预期的理解有积极影响。这些教育课程继续提供了一种可增强术前教育的选择。
