Brief Summary

In this study, the family empowerment model program given to individuals who underwent Total Knee Prosthesis and their caregivers was examined on the individuals' physiological function level, self-efficacy, and post-discharge hospital readmission (during the follow-up period); It was aimed to determine the effect of caregivers on their care burden, caregiving competence, and ability to cope with stress. The population of the research will consist of patients who underwent FFP surgery at Selçuk University Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic between December 2023 and June 2024 and people who were cared for by the same family member for at least one month. The sample of the study will consist of patients and their caregivers who meet the inclusion criteria for the study. The sample of the study will consist of a total of 62 patients and their caregivers who were admitted to the clinic on the dates mentioned above and meet the inclusion criteria for the study. Study data will begin in the outpatient clinic and will be collected during the follow-up period until the 5th week after the patient is discharged. A training booklet created according to the Family-Centered Empowerment Model and a total of 9 sessions containing training and counseling will be applied to the intervention group of the study. Patients and families in the control group will be cared for according to the routine of the clinic and no intervention will be made. The data obtained will be analyzed using the IBM SPSS 25 (Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences - Undergraduate, Selçuk University) package program. Ethical principles will be observed at every stage of the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Physiological function levels

    Barthel Index:This scale evaluates mobility status and stair climbing functions such as feeding, washing, self-care, dressing, defecation control, urinary control, going to the toilet, ability to move from bed to wheelchair, walking or being dependent on a wheelchair, and stair climbing on a scale of 5-15 points (depending on the question). It consists of a total of 10 items that rate patients (0-15 points in 5-point increments). In this scale, the score that can be received is between 0-100, the higher the score, the more independent the patient is from other people and can manage his own business (0-20 points are fully dependent, 21- 61 points highly dependent, 62-90 points moderately dependent, 91-99 points mildly dependent, 100 points completely independent)

    Pre-test at the anesthesia clinic within 10 days before the surgery date. Post test on the 3rd day after surgery The last follow-up test was performed at the 4th week after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Patient self-efficacy

    Pre-test at the anesthesia clinic within 10 days before the surgery date. Post test on the 3rd day after surgery The last follow-up test was performed at the 4th week after surgery.

  • Readmission to the hospital within 30 days after discharge

    Pre-test at the anesthesia clinic within 10 days before the surgery date. Post test on the 3rd day after surgery The last follow-up test was performed at the 4th week after surgery.

  • Care burden of caregivers

    Pre-test at the anesthesia clinic within 10 days before the surgery date. Post test on the 3rd day after surgery The last follow-up test was performed at the 4th week after surgery.

  • Caregiving competence

    Pre-test at the anesthesia clinic within 10 days before the surgery date. Post test on the 3rd day after surgery The last follow-up test was performed at the 4th week after surgery.

receiving family-centered care

EXPERIMENTAL

IIn this randomized controlled clinical study, family-centered empowerment program (FCEM) will be implemented as an intervention. A total of 8 times (6 times face-to-face in the hospital; 2 times by phone) for 5 weeks. The content of face-to-face sessions consists of family-centered assessment, structured information booklet and bedside care skills training. Patients will be given a patient care booklet as part of this intervention. The content of the booklet; TKA surgery, preoperative period, postoperative period postdischarge care (daily tasks, surgical site care, weight gain, diet, driving, exercises It will include information enriched with visual materials regarding prevention of complications at home. The other part of the booklet consists of encouraging caregivers to actively participate in managing their own health and to maintain health-promoting behaviors such as nutrition, exercise, stress management and emotional management.

Behavioral: family-centered empowerment program

waiting care group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients and families in the control group will be cared for according to the routine of the clinic and no intervention will be made.This group will be given a booklet on what to do after the last follow-up measurement, that is, after the 1st month post-operative check-up.

Interventions

The intervention will be carried out face to face in the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic, and some interviews will be held by phone. The first interview is on the day the patient will be approved in the anesthesia department, the second interview is when the patient is admitted to the ward, the third interview is after the surgery and the fourth interview is in the ward on the day of discharge, the fifth interview is by phone 1 week after discharge, the sixth interview is at the outpatient clinic when the patient comes for a check-up 2 weeks after discharge, and the seventh interview is at the time of discharge. The eighth interview will be held by phone in the 3rd week after discharge, and the eighth interview will be held in the outpatient clinic in the 4th week after discharge.
