The Effect of Continuous Care Counseling Based on the Roy Adaptation Model on Comfort and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty
Sponsor: Cyprus International University
Summary
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that leads to problems such as pain, restricted mobility, and decreased quality of life in the knee joint, especially among elderly individuals. In advanced-stage knee osteoarthritis, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is performed to reduce pain and loss of function. However, in the postoperative period, patients may encounter various problems such as pain, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and difficulties in daily living activities. This study investigates how continuous care counseling based on Roy's Adaptation Model affects the comfort and quality of life of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Roy's Adaptation Model is a widely used approach in nursing that supports individuals in adapting to changes they experience. Counseling and education provided in line with this model aim to help patients cope with the physical and psychological problems they face before and after surgery. In the study, specially designed training and counseling services were provided to patients undergoing surgery, and the effects of these interventions on comfort and quality of life were evaluated. The study aims to contribute to the enhancement of postoperative care practices and patient-centered nursing interventions for individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Interventions
Continuous Care Counseling Based on the Roy Adaptation Model
Patients in the experimental group will receive video-supported education with verbal explanation in the clinic five days before surgery. The education will be repeated one day before surgery to assess the patient's understanding, and any gaps in knowledge will be addressed. On postoperative day 2, patients will receive practical education related to total knee arthroplasty. At discharge, patients will be provided with the educational video and instructed about home-care precautions. Overall comfort and quality of life will be assessed face-to-face five days before surgery and on postoperative day 2, and by telephone at the first and third months after discharge. During the telephone follow-ups, adherence to viewing the video and performing the prescribed exercises, as well as any postoperative complications, will be assessed.
