ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To explore factors influencing participation in physical activity for young to middle-aged patients at six months post-hip arthroscopy.DESIGN:
Qualitative study.SETTING:
Three specialist surgical centres in Australia.PARTICIPANTS:
Seventeen adults aged 18-50 years. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Individual semi-structured interviews were undertaken and transcribed verbatum. Inductive analysis of the data was undertaken, with themes identified through an iterative coding process.RESULTS:
Four key themes emerged from theanalysis:
1) an evident mismatch between expectations and actual progress of physical activity during the first six months post-arthroscopy; 2) physical activity levels vary widely at six months post-operatively; 3) evidence of suboptimal psychological readiness to return to sport and an associated emotional toll; and 4) the influence of available support and information on post-operative physical activity.CONCLUSIONS:
This qualitative study has provided in-depth perspectives on recovery after hip arthroscopy. Clear opportunities exist to 1) help patients develop realistic post-operative goals; 2) provide timely patient education and support; and 3) facilitate an effective transition to desired physical activity.Key words
