"The Effect of AI-Assisted Mobilization Education on Kinesiophobia and Readiness for Hospital Discharge in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty''

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Total Knee Anthroplasty

In brief

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty on their level of kinesiophobia and readiness for hospital discharge. The research questions are as follows: Does artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty affect their level of kinesiophobia? Does artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty affect their readiness for hospital discharge? Study Procedure In the control group, participants will receive the standard care routinely provided in the orthopedic clinic, without viewing the artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education video. In the intervention group, participants will receive an artificial intelligence-assisted video-based mobilization education program developed to prepare them for their first postoperative mobilization. Intervention Group: After hospital admission, participants will complete a Personal Information Form. On postoperative day 1, before the first mobilization, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered. Following completion of the baseline assessment, participants will receive the artificial intelligence-assisted video-based mobilization education delivered by a nurse. Immediately after the education, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered again. Four hours before hospital discharge, participants will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Patient Self-Assessment Form, and the nurse will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Adult Patients-Nurse Assessment Short Form. Control Group: After hospital admission, participants will complete a Personal Information Form. On postoperative day 1, before the first mobilization, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered. Following the baseline assessment, participants will receive the routine verbal mobilization education provided by the nurse. Immediately after the education, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered again. Four hours before hospital discharge, participants will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Patient Self-Assessment Form, and the nurse will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Adult Patients-Nurse Assessment Short Form. At the final stage of the study, all preoperative and postoperative data collected from the participants will be compiled, recorded, and analyzed. Inclusion Criteria: Patients will be included in the study if they meet the following criteria: Age 18 years or older Undergoing total knee arthroplasty for the first time Able to read and write in Turkish No impairments that would prevent watching, hearing, or understanding the educational video No diagnosed psychiatric disorders and not using psychiatric medications that may affect the accuracy of responses No additional conditions affecting mobility other than knee arthroplasty No administration of narcotic analgesics within 30-60 minutes prior to mobilization Having access to a mobile phone capable of viewing the educational video during both the preoperative and postoperative periods. The population of the study will consist of all patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty in the Orthopedics Clinic of a state hospital. The sample will include patients who meet the study eligibility criteria and agree to participate in the study. A total of 72 patients will participate in the study, with 36 patients assigned to the control group and 36 patients assigned to the intervention group. Written and verbal informed consent will be obtained from all patients prior to participation in the study. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).
