ABSTRACT
Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of telephone intervention on discharged patients after total hip replacement. Methods 214 participants were assigned to the intervention group including 104cases receiving 6 months of telephone intervention and the control group including 110 cases receiving routine nursing by random number table method. The intervention were taken at 1,2 week and 1,2,3,6 month after patients discharged. The outcome measurements were the self-designed questionnaire of functional exercise compliance and Harris scale at 1, 3, 6 month patients discharged. Results The scores of self-designed questionnaire of functional exercise compliance were (42.24±4.58), (38.55±5.84), (36.98±5.41) at 1, 3, 6 month discharge from hospital in the intervention group, while in the control group was (38.79 ± 5.98), (35.45 ± 6.44), (32.45 ± 6.04) respectively. There were significant between two groups, t value was 3.290, 2.567 and 4.024 respectiveliy, P<0.05. There was no significant of Harris scale′s scores between two groups when they discharged. The scores of Harris scale were (66.51±6.64), (75.30± 6.65), (89.44±4.98) at 1, 3, 6 month discharge from hospital in the intervention group, while in the control group was (61.31 ± 6.68), (70.56 ± 8.01), (81.18 ± 6.13) respectively, and it has significant between two groups, t value was 4.232, 3.509 and 8.076, P<0.05. Besides, the scores of self-designed questionnaire of functional exercise compliance were decline and the scores of Harris scale were up along the time patients discharged in two groups(P < 0.05). Conclusions Telephone as a simple, convenient, efficient tool could enhance patients functional exercise compliance and hip function after total hip replacement.
