About this study
Official title: Examining the Effects of Patient Information Forms, Exercise Forms and Video Recordings on Clinical and Functional Results in Patients With Hand and Forearm Injuries.
The investigators believe that these information forms, exercise forms and video recordings that provide patient education will contribute to the collaborative approach of the patient and the clinician, the patient's participation in the treatment, the expectation of treatment and results, and their autonomy. The contribution of patient information forms, exercise forms and video recordings, which have become very important in recent years, to different degrees of results will be questioned.
Read the detailed description
Written and visual information can affect outcome measurements in health care. In addition to verbal information and guidance, written and visual information is also frequently recommended. This information increases patients' clinical knowledge, communication, and satisfaction and reduces potential anxiety.
Forms have been created in various medical fields to inform the patient about medications, applications, and possible risks, and there are many studies on these instruction forms. The effectiveness of patient information forms and exercise forms in physiotherapy and occupational therapy has gained importance in recent years. It is used in areas such as athlete rehabilitation, impingement syndrome, and osteoarthritis.
However, only one study was found, especially in the field of hand rehabilitation.
The aim of planning this study is to examine the contribution of patient information forms, exercise forms, and video recordings to the clinical and functional results of patients who suffered hand and forearm injuries as a result of a work accident.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
hand rehabilitation with verbal explanationOther
Patients in all groups will undergo a 12-week hand rehabilitation process that includes the use of appropriate orthoses if necessary, approaches to edema and pain, restoration of joint range of motion, strengthening, and functional return to work or activities. The application of the rehabilitation process will change according to the assigned group.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Impact of Event Scale-Revised
This scale is a 22-item self-report measure that assesses subjective distress caused by traumatic events. Items are rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely"). The total score ranges from 0 to 88. A higher score indicates more affection for the traumatic event.
Measured: The evaluation were completed in the first session when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit, and it was also repeated at 3th months after the surgery or conservative treatment.
State-trait Anxiety Inventory
This inventory was developed by Spielberger et al. (1970) to measure anxiety from the perspective of states vs. traits. The state measurement assesses how the individual feels "right now" or at this moment. The range of possible scores is from a minimum score of 20 to a maximum score of 80. Scores are commonly classified as "no or low anxiety" (20-37), "moderate anxiety" (38-44), and "high anxiety" (45-80).
Measured: The evaluation were completed in the first session when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit, and it was also repeated at 3th months after the surgery or conservative treatment.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Grip and Pinch Strength
Grip and Pinch Strength strength is measured in pounds, kilograms by squeezing a dynamometer and a pinchmeter about three times in each hand.
Measured: The evaluation were completed in the first session when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit, and it was also repeated at 3th months after the surgery or conservative treatment.
Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire
This Questionnaire is a tool used to assess patients with hand disorders through the measurement of 6 health domains: overall hand function, activities of daily living, pain, work performance, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction. An overall score can be obtained by summing the scores for all six scales after reversing the pain scale (pain=100-pain score) and then dividing by six. On the pain scale, high scores indicate greater pain, while on the other five scales, high scores denote better hand performance.
Measured: The evaluation were completed in the first session when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit, and it was also repeated at 3th months after the surgery or conservative treatment.
