Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a structured patient-centered educational program on postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the educational program in addition to routine care or a control group receiving routine care only. The study will assess whether the educational program improves postoperative recovery, functional independence, and pain outcomes following hip fracture surgery.

Conditions

Hip Fractures

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Total Score.

  The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) will be used to assess functional independence following hip fracture surgery. The FIM consists of 18 items with a total score ranging from 18 to 126. Higher scores indicate greater functional independence and better postoperative functional outcomes.

  Baseline (preoperative), at hospital discharge (assessed up to 4 days after surgery), 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score.

  Baseline (preoperative), at hospital discharge (assessed up to 4 days after surgery), 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery.
