About this study

Official title: The Effect of Training Given With the Roy Adaptation Model on the Self-care Agency and Coping Strategies of Patients With Plaster Casts.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of training given with the Roy adaptation model on the self-care agency and coping strategies of patients with plaster casts.

Read the detailed description

According to Global Burden of Disease data, fractures, which 436 million people suffer from each year, are the second most common musculoskeletal system disorder. Plaster casts have been used in treatment of fractures since 1850, and they play an important role in extremity injuries and the healing of operative repairs. In fractures treated with plaster, the bone alignment is corrected and this alignment is maintained with limited mobility. However, if plaster casts are incorrectly applied or not properly taken care of, this may prevent the healing of fractures and can threaten the safety of patients. Failure to comply with plaster-casting and cast-care principles can cause patients a range of immediate and delayed complications, including severe pain, edema, compartment syndrome, tissue necrosis, malunion, delayed union, nonunion, contracture, neurological problems, paralysis and pressure sores. Orthopedic patients, and especially those with plaster casts, are susceptible to the side effects arising from immobility. They thus need quality care and information to prevent or manage these side effects. Nurses play an important role in prevention or early recognition of complications arising from plaster-casting and in providing the patient with information. Orthopedic nursing requires special skills, knowledge and clinical judgement to provide the plaster cast-patient with safe, quality-care and to prevent complications. Patient education and information are very important for those patients whose treatment continues at home after casting, in order that they can maintain their care and prevent complications.In this study, the sample size was determined with an effect size of 0.43 using the power analysis Gpower 3.1.9.7 program. Accordingly, it was calculated that 29 patients were included in the intervention and control groups with a 5% margin of error and 80% power. İt was decided to include at least 66 people in each working group with 10% surplus, considering that they might be lost in data collection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Self-care agency scale score level

    Score level of self-care agency before the patient education

    Measured: At the beginning of plaster treatment, an avarage of 1 hour

  2. Coping orientation to problems experienced (COPE)

    Score level of coping orientation to problems experienced before the patient education

    Measured: At the beginning of plaster treatment, an avarage of 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Self-care agency scale score level

    Score level of coping orientation to problems experienced after the patient education

    Measured: At the end of treatment, an avarage of 1 week

  2. Coping orientation to problems experienced (COPE)

    Score level of coping orientation to problems experienced after the patient education

    Measured: At the end of treatment, an avarage of 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational intervention in people with Educational Problems, run by Near East University, Turkey at 1 site in Cyprus.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Self-care agency scale score level (time frame: At the beginning of plaster treatment, an avarage of 1 hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
