Sammanfattning
The information patients receive
prior to a hip arthroplasty influences
considerably how they feel
before surgery and affects their
rehabilitation and recovery afterwards.
The aim of this study was to
illuminate everyday activities that
were experienced as being a problem
before the operation, the
patient’s expectations prior to a
total hip arthroplasty, describe the
post surgical result, as well as
focusing on how women respectively
men describe their situations.
Patient interviews were carried out
(n=8) about one week before and
five months after the operation. A
qualitative content analysis was
used to interpret the text. The
result shows that the informants
had considerable problems in carrying
out everyday activities prior
to the operation, i.e. they described
feelings of frustration and being
unable to carry out everyday activities
independently had a negative
mental impact. It appeared that
they had high expectations of full
recovery after the operation. After
surgery the informants were more
satisfied and had recovered the
capacity to carry out some everyday
activities. A few, however still
had problems with pain. It also
emerged that some patients were of
the opinion that they had not been
given adequate information pre
and post surgery. The result shows
that there is a definite need for
information material to be provided,
in order to make it easier to
prepare the patients adequately
both pre and post surgery, as well
as to shorten the period of time
needed for care and treatment.
