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.
