Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the factors affecting social participation in adult patients with hand injuries and to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based physiotherapy awareness education in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a short, video-based physiotherapy education increase the knowledge and awareness levels of patients with hand injuries? What are the primary factors (body functions and activity limitations) that restrict the social participation of these patients? Participants will: Complete baseline assessments including a sociodemographic form, the Quick-DASH questionnaire, and custom participation and awareness forms. Receive a 10-15 minute video-supported education session from physiotherapists covering home strategies, exercises, and assistive devices. Complete the knowledge and awareness test again immediately after the education session to measure acute changes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Knowledge and Awareness Levels

  Knowledge will be assessed using a custom 7-item multiple-choice test based on the video education content. Awareness will be assessed using a custom 5-item questionnaire with binary categorical responses. For data interpretation and statistical analysis, categorical responses are numerically coded where "yes" is coded as 1 and "no" is coded as 2. Results will be presented by calculating the frequency of correct answers and specific responses for each question.

  Baseline (pre-education) and immediately post-education (after the 10-15 minute session)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Activity Limitation

  Baseline (pre-education)

• Social Participation Barriers
