This article describes the development and impact of a hospital-based education program for patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery. The program consists of three components: a preoperative 1-hour education session conducted by a case manager providing information on what to expect from the procedure; a discussion by previous patients addressing unnecessary fears; and elective membership after discharge in a hospital-based support group providing patients with information on how to live with arthritis and with new joints. The impact of the program on patient outcomes was investigated through a 5-year retrospective study. Data were collected from patients to assess their perceptions of the program and of the outcome of their surgery. Results of the study indicated favorable impact on both patient care outcomes.
本文描述了一项针对接受膝关节或髋关节置换手术患者的医院教育项目的开展情况及其影响。该项目由三个部分组成：术前由病例管理员进行1小时的教育课程，提供有关手术预期情况的信息；由既往患者进行讨论，消除不必要的恐惧；出院后可选择加入医院支持小组，为患者提供有关如何与关节炎及新关节共处的信息。通过一项为期5年的回顾性研究调查了该项目对患者治疗结果的影响。从患者处收集数据，以评估他们对该项目及其手术结果的看法。研究结果表明该项目对患者护理结果产生了积极影响。
