简要总结
Degenerative arthritis is a common and serious chronic illness that impacts the quality of life of older adults. Knowledge about the effects of empowerment education program in older adults with total hip replacement surgery are limited. As far as the investigators know, this is the first study done using empowerment education intervention to promote total hip replacement patients' self-care. This partnership is achieved through active participation to learn as well as sharing their knowledge and experiences with clinicians and patients. Furthermore, patients had developed some degree of self-efficacy and improve their depressive mood from the disease related knowledge acquired.
详细描述
Aims. To exam the effectiveness of the empowerment education program on primary (self-care self-efficacy and competence) and secondary outcomes (Activities of Daily Life, mobility, depressive mood, and quality of life) for older adults with total hip replacement surgery.
Background. Degenerative arthritis is a common and serious chronic illness that impacts the quality of life of older adults. As joints degenerate continuously and the hip has been damaged by arthritis, Activities of Daily Life will be difficult to perform due to severe hip pain and joint stiffness. Therefore, hip replacement surgery should be considered, and effective nursing care should be provided to improve the recovery of older adults.
Design. A prospective randomized control trial. Methods. A trial was conducted from September of 2013 to May of 2014 in two hospitals in northern Taiwan. 108 participants were randomly assigned to either the empowerment education group or the comparison group. The outcomes were collected at the day of discharge (T2), one month after (T3), and 3 months (T4) after the discharge.

研究组 & 干预措施
comparison group
The CG received no extra care; they could receive the usual routine care for THR in the unit as they had before participation in the study. The routine care included oral instruction by nurses follow by the handout. Also, a brochure was provided of the structure of hip, the risk factors of THR, care before and after THR, complications, care of discharge, and demonstration of rehabilitation with pictures) of THR designed by researchers in this study. Five orthopedics health care experts independently reviewed and rated each item in the brochure on a five-point Likert-type scale in terms of relevance, representativeness, specificity, and clarity.
Empowerment education group
The 5 times total, 12-week EE intervention was aimed to empower older patients with THR to develop their own self-management program to meet their needs. This empowerment education intervention based on 6 empowerment components: "Partnership, listening, dialogue, reflection, action, feedback" and 5-step empowerment strategies: motivating patients self-awareness, assessing the causes of the problem, goal setting, individual self-care plan development, and checking whether goals or plans have been achieved who modified from Freire's 3-stage methodology. The difference between this program and the other health educations for patients with THR are that this program encourages them to explore their needs and worries, their own ability and power to meet their needs, and their capacity to seek and use their social support and resources etc.

结局指标
主要结局
Total Hip Replacement Self-efficacy Scale
时间窗: 5min
A five-item evaluation list measured self-efficacy (environment, self-monitoring, regular check-up, medicine, exercise), all components were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (4= fully confident to 0= no confidence at all) with higher scores signifying greater self-efficacy.
Self-care competence Scale
时间窗: 5min
The knowledge and behaviors subscales measured this variable, which includes knowledge and behavior related to THR self-care. The knowledge subscale contains 15 yes/no questions (6 for posture/ environment, 6 for wound/pain, and 3 for exercise), each with only one correct response. In order to prevent participants that guessed answers from confounding the data, the choice 'I do not know' was also provided. The scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge.
