ABSTRACT
This study investigated the correlation of 8 domains of psychosocial factors with functional outcome one year after hip fracture surgery. A prospective cohort study of patients who had unilateral hip fracture surgery was included. A total of 89 subjects were interviewed between 3rd to 7th day after the hip surgery using the short length Multi-level Assessment Instrument and followed up after 1 year. The functional outcomes were measured through the Harris Hip Score. All of the psychosocial factors have little to no correlation on the functional recovery of the patient but the cognitive domain had a fair correlation in Harris Hip Score (r=0.46) and is significant (p-value<0.0001). The study did not find strong correlation between psychosocial factors and functional outcome one year after unilateral hip surgery. Although statistics have shown little effect on psychosocial factors to functional outcome, it may still be prudent to consider every aspect that may contribute to the whole wellbeing of our patients, which includes their psychosocial background.
