Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status of family function and self-care ability in elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty, and analyze the relationship between them.Methods:From March 2018 to March 2019, the convenience sampling method was used. 224 elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty who were hospitalized in the orthopedics department of the Red Cross Hospital of Yulin City, Guangxi were selected as the research objects. The Family Function Assessment Form (APGAR) and the Self-care Capability Scale (ESCA) were used to survey patients ′ family functions and self-care capabilities. Results:The total score of family function of elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty was 8.16 ± 1.98, and those with good family function accounted for 71.88%(161/224); the total score of self-care ability was 84.32 ± 6.54. Those with moderat to low self-care ability accounted for 81.70%(183/224). Patients ′ family function was positively correlated with self-care ability ( P <0.05). Conclusions:The family function of elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty is closely related to their self-care ability. Interventions should be taken to improve the family function of the patients and thus improve their self-care ability.
