The needs of Chinese patients undergoing home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery remain unclear. In this study, we qualitatively investigated the needs of Chinese patients undergoing home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery.
A total of 21 participants undergoing home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery were included in this study. Individual semi-structured interviews involving all participants were performed to determine the needs and experiences of this patient population during home-based rehabilitation. Data were subjected to qualitative content analysis.
The patients had numerous needs during rehabilitation. Three substantive themes, namely, the need to obtain health-related knowledge, the need to obtain care and support, and the needs of those who cannot perform self-care, were identified from the qualitative data. The participants shared valuable insights into their needs during home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement and provided potential suggestions.
Patients undergoing home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement have several strong needs and lack proper guidance. The initial and continuous engagement of rehabilitation professionals and the establishment of related policies based on patient's needs are potential approaches for improving the effectiveness of home-based rehabilitation after hip replacement.
接受髋关节置换术后居家康复的中国患者的需求尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们定性研究了接受髋关节置换术后居家康复的中国患者的需求。
本研究共纳入 21 名接受髋关节置换术后居家康复的参与者。对所有参与者进行个体半结构化访谈,以确定该患者群体在居家康复期间的需求和体验。对数据进行定性内容分析。
患者在康复期间有很多需求。从定性数据中确定了三个实质性主题,即获得健康相关知识的需求、获得护理和支持的需求以及无法进行自理的需求。参与者分享了他们在髋关节置换术后居家康复期间的需求的宝贵见解,并提供了潜在建议。
接受髋关节置换术后居家康复的患者有多种强烈的需求,但缺乏适当的指导。康复专业人员的初步和持续参与以及基于患者需求制定相关政策可能是提高髋关节置换术后居家康复效果的方法。
