简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nurse led follow-up following total knee arthroplasty in regard to physical function, health related quality of life and self-efficacy.
详细描述
Due to shorter hospitalization the patients early have to be responsible for their own rehabilitation. However, the patients experience a variety of health related problems in the rehabilitations period following total knee arthroplasty and they have difficulties transferring health related information to their home settings. Nurse led follow-up in the early rehabilitation period might improve the health status of the patients by improving their knowledge and skills to handle health related problems. No studies found has investigated the effect of nurse led follow-up in form of telephone call following total knee arthroplasty.

主要结局
Change in physical function assessed by ≥ 12 points in physical function score in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index
时间窗: 3 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery
The WOMAC Index is disease specific measuring health status om three subscales: pain, stiffness and physical function
次要结局

- Number of acute visits to the orthopedic outpatient clinic(3 days, 1, 3, 6 anf 12 months post-surgery)
- Changes in all scores in the subscales in Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36)(3 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery)
