Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical significance of protective motivation intervention nursing on functional recovery of patients after hip arthroplasty. METHODS: Sixty patients after hip arthroplasty treated in our hospital from February 2019 to April 2021 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the research group. The routine nursing mode was adopted in the control group, and the protective motivation intervention nursing mode was adopted in the research group. Nursing satisfaction, FIM score, Harris hip function score, WOMAC score, Barthel index score, and quality of life score were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The nursing satisfaction of the research group was higher than that of the control group, and there are statistically significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). The FIM scores of the research group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge were significantly higher than those in the control group. The Harris hip function score of the research group was significantly higher than that of the control group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge. The WOMAC scores of the research group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The scores of the Barthel index at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The scores of physiological function, psychological function, social function, and health self-cognition in the research group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The nursing model of protective motivation intervention for patients after hip arthroplasty can effectively improve the function of hip joint, improve the quality of life, promote the establishment of harmonious nurse-patient relationship, and play a positive role in improving the prognosis of patients.
