TKA is the most effective procedure to relieve pain in knee osteoarthritis and other synovial diseases and to improve joint motion and deformity. Accelerated postoperative rehabilitation can improve the prognosis of patients, and early postoperative joint function exercise is a key factor in knee arthroplasty.
The collaborative care model, based on the responsibility care framework, values patient participation in home rehabilitation care and strives to promote early recovery. This model emphasizes the integration of caregivers, family members, and patients, also known as the “three-in-one” care approach.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of programmed pain care and collaborative care on elderly patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
Of 116 patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from July 2019 to July 2021. There are two groups: Routine care group (n = 58), programmed nursing + collaborative nursing group (n = 58). Establish a pain management team composed of attending physicians, head nurses and responsible nurses. Evaluation indicators: Visual analogue scale score, activities of daily living score, and functional score.
The treatment effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group.
Pain nursing with collaboration has shown positive outcomes for TKA patients receiving out-of-hospital care, including reduced pain, improved prognosis, and better quality of care.
The combination of programmed pain nursing and collaborative nursing in out-of-hospital care for TKA patients can achieve good results, reduce patient pain, and improve patient prognosis and nursing quality.
