Seven in-patients, who had the insertion of a dynamic hip screw, were included in a small study. They were discharged from the orthopaedic nursing development unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Tyneside, over a two-month period. The nursing records were assessed before discharge to show the planning stages in hospital. The respondents were interviewed two weeks after discharge to determine the effectiveness of the hospital intervention. The main issues that arose were a need for more discussion with patients and the lack of information provided.
七名接受动力髋螺钉植入手术的住院患者被纳入一项小型研究。他们在两个月的时间里从泰恩赛德皇家维多利亚医院的骨科护理发展单元出院。出院前对护理记录进行了评估，以展示住院期间的规划阶段。出院两周后对受访者进行了访谈，以确定医院干预措施的有效性。出现的主要问题是需要与患者进行更多讨论以及提供的信息不足。
