Effect of Preoperative Education Based on Roy Adaptation Model in Patients With Hip or Knee Arthroplasty on Physical Adaptation and Mobility

This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experiment to determine the effect of the education given by the Physiological Mode of Roy Adaptation Model in patients with hip or knee arthroplasty on physical adaptation and mobility.

The research was conducted between 01.11.2017 - 01.04.2018 at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Surgery Service of a private University Hospital in Istanbul.

In the study, the number of samples to be taken; the training, the training group control group mobility scale scores between The Observer at least 5% of the study considering that would make a difference, and power 80%, α=0.05 and power analysis adopted by participants for each group were calculated and it was determined that there should be at least 27.

The sample was composed of 78 individuals 41 experimental and 37 control. Patients' physical adaptation and mobility were evaluated using the Patient Mobility Scale and Observer Mobility Scale and Physical Adaptation Assessment Form.

Randomization of the study was achieved by planning patients who met the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria for training and control groups sequentially, without dividing them into hip or knee arthroplasty. In the randomization table, those with the number 1 are assigned to the training group.
