Abstract

Background

The benefits of the Nurse Practitioner role in acute care are known however, the patient's experience of having an Orthopaedic Nurse Practitioner involved in their joint replacement care is unknown.

Aim

This study aimed to explore the experience of patients undergoing a hip or knee joint replacement who had an Orthopaedic Nurse Practitioner involved in their care.

Methods

This study used a qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured interviews with eleven participants. Data were analysed using Braun and Clark's six step reflexive thematic analysis framework.

Results

Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis: 1) Information sharing and education; 2) Support throughout the journey; 3) Coordination of care, and 4) Reassurance.

Conclusion

The role of the Orthopaedic Nurse Practitioner in supporting participants throughout their joint replacement journey provided benefits for the patient's health and recovery.
