Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the effect of high-quality care on limb function recovery and quality of life (QOL) after osteoporotic hip fracture (OHF) surgery in the elderly.
METHODS
116 elderly patients with OHF enrolled in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were assigned into observation group (high-quality care, n=58) and control group (routine care, n=58). After one month of intervention, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Barthel Index (BI) were used to evaluating limb function and self-care ability, pain intensity numerical rating scale (PINRS) for pain assessment, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) for emotion assessment. Besides, postsurgical complications, QOL and patient satisfaction were examined.
RESULTS
HHS and BI were higher in observation group (P<0.05); PINRS, SAS and SDS were lower in observation group (P<0.05); incidence of postsurgical complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); QOL and patient satisfaction in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
High-quality care promotes the recovery of limb function, the QOL and the satisfaction of elderly patients.
