Introduction
Quality in health services is increasingly associated with enabling patients to participate in their own health and healthcare by recognising their resources and needs. Despite a growing recognition as to whether such participation is enabled, little is known regarding opportunities for preference-based patient participation in orthopaedic care.
Aims
To investigate preference-based participation for patients in orthopaedic care due to hip surgery.
Methods
Patients across 17 Swedish orthopaedic units who had had hip surgery, due to hip fracture or osteoarthritis, January–April 2021 were invited to complete the validated 4Ps questionnaire. Of 1514 patients, 458 patients returned the questionnaire with reports on their preferences for and experiences of participation. Each of the 4Ps’ 12 items were analysed separately using descriptive and comparative statistics.
Results
A complete match in preferences for, and experiences of, participation was achieved with variation between items for 41%–50% of the patients; if almost matches were included, this occurred for 57%–77% of the patients. Less participation than preferred was most common in terms of having had reciprocal communication, opportunities for partaking in planning, and in learning how to manage symptoms/issues. Hip fracture surgery was significantly associated with experiencing lower levels of participation than preferred.
Conclusion
Though standardised care promotes efficient hip surgery care, our study suggests a need for more person-centred opportunities to engage. A discrepancy was noted between patients’ resources and preparation for their participation in and beyond the hip surgery process, particularly for self-care activities, calling for better use of nursing resources.

Guidelines have been proposed for post-operative rehabilitation following periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). However, the perspectives of individuals undergoing PAO have not been considered.
Aim
The present study aimed to explore the perceived challenges of everyday life and hopes for and expectations of post-PAO rehabilitation from the perspective of individuals with acetabular dysplasia living in Denmark and Australia.
Methods
In this qualitative study, we used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach with semi-structured interviews to explore the perspectives of 25 participants (four males), aged 16–43 years, who underwent a PAO. Purposeful sampling was used to provide variations in age and sex. Inclusion criteria were age above 15 years, radiographic evidence of acetabular dysplasia, PAO within the last seven weeks and undergoing post-operative rehabilitation. Inductive content analysis was adopted to code and analyse interviews.
Results
The analysis of the interview transcripts revealed four major themes: different expectations, self-confidence, tailored rehabilitation and aligning expectations. Several subthemes emerged within each theme, and similar patterns with minor variations were identified across countries. However, the financial burden of self-funded surgery and rehabilitation challenged some Australian participants, whereas none of the Danish participants mentioned this challenge.
Conclusion
Our findings elucidate the diverse range of hopes and expectations in individuals undergoing PAO, and how these relate to their perceived challenges. In particular, the findings highlight the importance of aligning expectations between individuals and clinicians when designing the rehabilitation.
导言已经提出了髋臼周围截骨术（PAO）术后康复指南，但尚未考虑接受 PAO 术者的观点。本研究旨在从居住在丹麦和澳大利亚的髋臼发育不良患者的角度，探讨他们所感受到的日常生活挑战以及对髋臼周围截骨术后康复的希望和期待。方法在这项定性研究中，我们采用诠释学现象学方法，通过半结构式访谈，探讨了 25 名年龄在 16-43 岁之间、接受过髋臼周围截骨术的参与者（4 名男性）的观点。我们采用了有目的的抽样，以提供年龄和性别上的差异。纳入标准为年龄在 15 岁以上、有髋臼发育不良的影像学证据、在过去七周内接受过 PAO 且正在进行术后康复。采用归纳式内容分析法对访谈进行编码和分析。结果对访谈记录的分析揭示了四个主要的主题：不同的期望、自信、量身定制的康复治疗和统一期望。在每个主题中都出现了几个次主题，在不同国家也发现了类似的模式，但略有不同。然而，自费手术和康复的经济负担给一些澳大利亚参与者带来了挑战，而丹麦参与者中没有一人提到这一挑战。研究结果特别强调了在设计康复方案时，个人和临床医生之间统一期望的重要性。

Introduction
Amateur and professional participation in sport and physical activity worldwide is increasing in popularity, which in turn is increasing the volume and types of injuries sustained by athletes. Ensuring these injuries are treated appropriately and efficiently is paramount for athletes’ recovery and return to sport in a timely and safe manner.
Methods
A scoping review to map the evidence regarding the treatment, outcomes and management of hand, wrist, finger, and thumb injuries in the professional/amateur athlete from contact sports. A search of seven electronic databases; SPORTdiscus, CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library and grey literature was conducted in January 2024. The reporting of the review is in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist. Inductive content analysis was used to examine the data and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme was used to appraise the quality of the included studies.
Results
Eight papers met the inclusion criteria and three themes emerged addressing the return to play/sport, surgical and conservative treatment and the most common/reoccurring injuries sustained from contact sports.
Conclusion
Managing hand, wrist, finger, and thumb injuries in athletes requires a varied approach depending on the type of injury, treatment options, and external pressures. While conservative treatment is common and effective, surgical intervention may be necessary in certain cases to improve recovery and facilitate a faster return to sport. Preventive measures in high-risk sports settings could help reduce the incidence of these injuries.

Introduction
Kinesiophobia is a crucial factor influencing the rehabilitation process for individuals with musculoskeletal pathologies. Assessing kinesiophobia levels is crucial for personalized interventions.
Aim
The aim of this study is to investigate the level of kinesiophobia in individuals with musculoskeletal pathology based on the pathology areas, demographic, physical, and clinical characteristics.
Methods
A total of 210 participants with musculoskeletal pathologies were included in the study. All participants were assessed using a sociodemographic information form for demographic and physical characteristics, the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale for kinesiophobia level, and the McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire for pain location and intensity.
Results
There was no statistically significant difference observed in kinesiophobia level between patients in terms of pathology location and sex. However, a significant difference in kinesiophobia levels was found among patients based on the acute and chronic duration of the disease (p = 0.00), previous treatment history (p = 0.04), and exercise engagement (p = 0.00). When kinesiophobia levels were examined according to educational status, a significant difference was found between the primary education group and the undergraduate and above group (p = 0.00).
Conclusions
According to the results of this study, kinesiophobia levels appear to be independent of pathology location and sex, but vary based on educational level, exercise habits, pain duration and history of previous treatment. Considering these findings, it is essential to take into account these factors in treatment programs in clinical practice and to provide support in exercise and physical activity training to individuals who have previously received treatment and individuals with low education levels.

Background
The physical, psychological, and social effects of the earthquake affect a person's functionality directly. It challenges individuals because it is often traumatizing, intense fear is experienced, and it is unpredictable, uncontrollable, and destructive. Nurses are one of the professional groups that have important duties in social disasters, and they are constantly exposed to the details of the traumatic situation, sometimes physically and sometimes by listening. To understand the severity of the trauma caused by this exposure, it is important to understand the emotions and thoughts that nurses feel while caring for earthquake victims.
Aims
This study was planned to reveal the perceptions of nurses, who were themselves earthquake victims, regarding caring for earthquake victims through metaphors.
Methods
This study was conducted as a phenomenological study with a qualitative research approach, in a province affected by the earthquake, with 85 surgical clinic nurses who were also earthquake victims and cared for earthquake victims.
Results
The metaphors produced were examined together with their reasons and grouped under 3 categories (positive, negative, both positive and negative).
Conclusions
As a result, when the metaphors used by earthquake victims are evaluated, the effects of nurses being earthquake victims themselves can be seen in the metaphors. It is revealed through metaphors that nurses' earthquake-related traumas are triggered while caring for earthquake victims.

Introduction
Patients often feel unprepared and concerned about their new life after a major lower extremity amputation (LEA). Therefore, we implemented an integrated care program, Safe Journey, to optimize the quality and continuity of care for patients with LEA due to vascular disease when transitioning from hospital to home. This study aims to illuminate and explore the experiences of patients with LEA and their relatives with the transition from hospital to home after implementing Safe Journey.
Material and methods
This qualitative, exploratory study individually interviewed six patients with a major LEA and four relatives and jointly interviewed eight patients with their relatives.
Results
The participants’ experiences transitioning from hospital to home were centered around two major themes: (1) Going home: mixed emotions and confusion, and (2) bridging the gap. The main themes encompassed six subthemes: (1) simultaneously expectant and worried, (2) a lack of knowledge creating uncertainty, (3) an unexpressed but pending need for psychosocial support, (4) reassurance but safety comes at a price, (5) navigating the system, and (6) lack of involvement.
Conclusion
Transitioning from hospital to home after a major LEA creates mixed emotions. Knowledge, feeling involved, and being prepared and cared for were highlighted as important during the transition. The Safe Journey program made patients and relatives feel physically reassured and safe, but all the home visits strained the families. The program's benefits are consistent with existing knowledge on patients with complex needs benefitting from integrated care models. However, a more individualized and person-centered approach is needed.
