Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a Snyder Hope Theory-based nursing intervention on elderly patients following hip fracture surgery. The study aims to improve the patient's psychological well-being, reduce pain, and enhance their functional recovery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention involves individualized counseling, goal setting, and rehabilitation training based on the Snyder Hope Theory. The trial will assess changes in hope levels, anxiety, pain, hip joint function, and quality of life before and after the intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hope Levels (Herth Hope Index)

  The primary outcome measure is the change in the patients' hope levels, which will be assessed using the Herth Hope Index. This scale is designed to measure the psychological and emotional dimensions of hope, focusing on the patients' expectations and their outlook on recovery and life. The Herth Hope Index will be administered before and after the intervention to assess changes in hope levels.

  Pre-intervention and post-intervention (2 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Pain Level (VAS)

  Pre-intervention and post-intervention (2 weeks)

• Anxiety (STAI)

  Pre-intervention and post-intervention (2 weeks)

• Hip Joint Function (Harris Hip Score)

  Pre-intervention and post-intervention (2 weeks)

• Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF)

Study Arms (2)

Snyder Hope Theory-based Nursing Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the intervention arm will receive a Snyder Hope Theory-based nursing intervention, which includes psychological counseling, goal-setting, rehabilitation training, and peer support to improve hope levels, reduce pain, and enhance functional recovery after hip fracture surgery.

Behavioral: Snyder Hope Theory-based Nursing Intervention

Standard Postoperative Care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in the control arm will receive standard postoperative care, including routine pain management, rehabilitation exercises, and general guidance on recovery after hip fracture surgery, without the addition of the Snyder Hope Theory-based intervention.
