Clinical Report: Effects of Evidence-Based Nursing Interventions on Rehabilitation

Overview

This study evaluates the impact of evidence-based nursing interventions guided by Watson's theory on rehabilitation adherence in elderly patients post-intertrochanteric femur fracture surgery. The findings indicate differences in pain levels, rehabilitation adherence, and overall postoperative recovery in the intervention group compared to the control group.

Background

Rehabilitation adherence is crucial for recovery in elderly patients following surgical interventions, particularly for conditions like intertrochanteric femur fractures. Understanding the role of evidence-based practices in this context is essential for optimizing care in geriatric populations.

Data Highlights

Key Findings

• The observation group had significantly lower VAS scores (P < 0.01).
• Shorter weight-bearing walking time was observed in the observation group (P < 0.01).
• Fracture healing time was reduced in the observation group (P < 0.01).
• Higher WHOQOL-BREF scores were reported in the observation group (P < 0.01).
• Better rehabilitation adherence was noted in the observation group (P < 0.01).
• Fewer complications were recorded in the observation group (P < 0.01).

Clinical Implications

The study presents findings on rehabilitation adherence and postoperative outcomes in elderly patients.

Conclusion

The study presents findings on the effects of evidence-based nursing interventions on recovery in elderly patients following intertrochanteric femur fracture surgery.
