Measurement of Effectiveness through Health Management System to Prevent Complications After Hip Surgery

Abstract

Side effects occur throughout the whole body including ulcer, pneumonia, and hematocardial thrombosis with hip fractures. Therefore, this study measures the effectiveness through health management system to prevent complications after a hip surgery. The experimental and the control group of 83 patients each participated in this study. Health practice for preventing complications was measured by t-test between the two groups with and without intervention of health management system. The results of this study showed 1) muscle strength after a hip surgery has been strengthened after management (t=-4.15, p<.01) and 2) complications decreased significantly by 30-40% after training compared to pre-health management (t=-8.13, p<.01). Therefore, the health management system has proven to be effective in reducing complications after a hip joint surgery. The system provided the establishment of a systematic database through clinical trials and useful methods.
