About this study
Official title: The Effect of Early Mobilization Education on Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroplasty
Orthopedic surgical procedures, particularly total hip replacement, are of great importance in the older population in terms of regaining functional independence, reducing pain, and improving quality of life. In addition to surgical success, the postoperative recovery process, rehabilitation programs, patient education, and nursing care directly affect patients' clinical and functional outcomes.
Failure to implement early mobilization may negatively affect patients' recovery and increase the risk of complications. Delayed mobilization may prolong hospital stays and increase healthcare costs. The most common complications include deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, respiratory complications, muscle weakness, and joint stiffness. Delayed mobilization may also increase postoperative pain and functional limitations, thereby restricting patients' ability to perform independent activities of daily living.
Patient education during the postoperative period is one of the key factors supporting the success of early mobilization. Education provided to patients regarding postoperative positioning, breathing exercises, pain management, protection of the prosthetic area, and the importance of mobilization can help reduce complications and improve patient adherence. When education is planned individually under the guidance of nurses, it supports functional independence and facilitates the rehabilitation process.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Early Mobilization EducationBehavioural
Participants in the intervention group will receive early mobilization education based on the Arthroplasty Patient Education Booklet. The education will be provided by the nurse/intervention provider and will include information on the importance of early mobilization, postoperative mobilization practices, and measures to prevent postoperative complications. The intervention will be provided in addition to routine postoperative care. Participants will be followed during the postoperative period to evaluate the effects of early mobilization education on postoperative complications.
Routine Postoperative CareOther
Participants will receive routine postoperative care provided by the clinical team according to standard clinical practice.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Participants in the intervention group will receive early mobilization education based on the Arthroplasty Patient Education Booklet. The education will be provided by the nurse/intervention provider in addition to routine postoperative care. Participants will be followed during the postoperative period to evaluate postoperative complications and related outcomes. Receives: Behavioral: Early Mobilization Education; Other: Routine Postoperative Care |
| Control Group | Active comparator | Participants in the control group will receive routine postoperative care without the structured early mobilization education provided to the intervention group. Receives: Other: Routine Postoperative Care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Postoperative Complications
Postoperative complications following hip arthroplasty will be assessed and recorded, and the number of participants experiencing one or more postoperative complications will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery
Secondary outcomes (1)
Hip Function Assessed Using the Harris Hip Score
Hip function will be assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and compared between the intervention and control groups. The Harris Hip Score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better hip function.
Measured: Up to 1 month after surgery

- Model description
- The study was designed as an experimental study. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria (as described in the Eligibility Criteria section) will be numbered according to the order in which they are enrolled in the study, and allocation will be performed based on this sequence. Accordingly, patients assigned odd numbers will be allocated to the intervention group, while those assigned even numbers will be allocated to the control group, thereby dividing the participants into two equal groups. In the intervention group, the planned intervention based on the Arthroplasty Patient Education Booklet will be administered by the nurse/intervention provider, whereas participants in the control group will continue to receive routine care.
