Factors Predicting Hip Function Among Elderlies Undergone Hip Hemiarthroplasty
Keywords:
Hip function, Health literacy, Sleep quality, severity of postoperative complications, patient-health care provider communicationAbstract
This predictive study aimed to assess the predictive power of nutritional status, sleep quality, health literacy, severity of postoperative complications, and patient-health care provider communication toward hip function. This predictive study among 116 patients aged 60 years and older who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty. The subjects were patients undergoing follow-up treatments 3 to 6 months post-surgery. Data were collected using a personal data questionnaire and six additional assessment tools and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
The study found that Nutritional status, quality of sleep, health literacy, severity of postoperative complications, and patient-health care provider communication were able to predict hip function among elderlies undergone hip hemiarthroplasty at 33.4 percent with statistical significance (R2 = .334, F = 10.629, p<.05). Nutritional status was the factor most capable of predicting hip function (β = .335, p<.05). The promotion of nutritional status and sleep quality both preoperatively and postoperatively, the enhancement of health literacy, and the improvement of communication between nurses and patients. These strategies may contribute to improved hip functional ability among older adults following partial hip replacement surgery.
