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.

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.

Background
Distal radius fractures are a common presentation in emergency departments. Synthesis of qualitative research of treatment, care and rehabilitation this fracture presents from the patient perspective could improve clinical practice and care. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the qualitative literature on patient experiences after sustaining a distal radius fracture.
Methods
We searched Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Psycinfo and CINAHL to identify qualitative studies published from database conception to May 2023. All studies were screened, extracted, analysed and quality assessed by two blinded reviewers. A thematic synthesis approach was used to analyse the findings from included studies.
Results
A total of 9 studies interviewing 160 unique patients were included. We identified 3 themes in relation to patient experiences after sustaining a distal radius fracture: 1) Concerns about dependency, 2) Fear and pain and 3) Motivators for recovery. The themes did not exist as sharply demarcated topics but were intertwined with patients reflecting that more information and knowledge could assist in managing expectations and the recovery period.
Conclusion
Our synthesis highlighted that adult patients with DRF experience a lack of information about the care and treatment inhibiting independence and successful management of expectations due to pain, fear and lack of motivation. Our findings can inform orthopaedic units and assist in tailoring information to patient needs.

Purpose
Investigate efficacy of reduced compression bandage for the control of pain after total knee arthroplasty.
Patients & methods
Prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial involving data for 56 out of 94 consented patients; 29 standard care versus 27 Andoflex TLC Calamine Lite. Comparison of standard care (non-compression bandage applied for up to one day) versus Andoflex TLC Calamine Lite (25–30 mmHg) two-layer compression bandage worn for five days. Outcomes measured with validated pain (McGill, 10-cm visual scale) and functionality (KOOS) tools.
Results
At day 5 post-surgery, the median pain level was 3.0 cm vs 4.0 cm (p-value 0.47, Mann-Whitney U test) respectively. Generic pain levels, pain types, and knee functionality did not differ between the interventions at days 3/5/12 and week 6 post-surgery. An exception was the degree of ‘tender’ pain at day 12, which was significantly lower in the Andoflex TLC Calamine Lite arm (p-value 0.041, Mann-Whitney U test). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that application of Andoflex TLC Calamine Lite, administration of oxycodone, and male sex were all significantly associated with less ‘tender’ pain.
Conclusion
Reduced compression bandaging does not affect overall pain levels post knee arthroplasty surgery, but may alleviate pain experienced as ‘tender’, highlighting the different types of pain that may be experienced. Patients' need for, and the use of, opioid medication (oxycodone) is a significant confounding variable when assessing adjuvant therapy to control pain. The applicability of reduced compression bandaging may therefore be limited and is less efficient than medical pain control.

Background
Patients' postoperative quality of recovery (QOR) is an important outcome measurement and predicting and preventing impaired quality of recovery is essential. In this study, we aimed to investigate if patients Sense of Coherence (SOC) could be a potential predictor and screening instrument for impaired quality of recovery. We hypothesized that patients’ SOC is positively related to their QOR.
Material and methods
The study was performed as a descriptive single-center prospective cohort study. Data was collected using digital questionnaires. Patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (TKA) received the SOC13 questionnaire prior to their surgery to establish their SOC and a questionnaire on postoperative day 2 and 7, respectively, establishing their QOR. Multiple linear regression was used to fit a model for the QOR score using SOC, age, sex, and type of surgery as potential explanatory variables.
Results
206 patients were included in the study analysis. The results showed a highly significant positive correlation between patients’ SOC and their postoperative QOR on both postoperative day 2 and 7 (p < 0.01). Patients with a lower SOC score also presented a significantly lower QOR score, meaning they experienced impaired QOR compared to patients with a higher SOC score.
Conclusions
The results indicate that a weak SOC (low SOC score) can be considered a clinically important indicator for risk of impaired QOR (low QOR score) after THA and TKA. The SOC13 questionnaire may be a potential screening instrument identifying patients in risk of impaired postoperative QOR based on a low SOC score.

Background and objective
Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is the leading cause of death among patients with hip fractures. Simple and cost-effective markers can be used to assess the risk of these patients. This study aims to investigate the association between POP and preoperative albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) in patients with hip fractures.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1417 hip fracture patients admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics at the hospital. Generalized additive and logistic regression models were used to determine both linear and non-linear associations between preoperative AGR and POP. A two-piece regression model was employed to determine the threshold effect.
Results
The study included 1417 participants, with a mean age of 77.57 (8.53) years and 26.96% (382/1417) male patients. The prevalence of POP was 6.21%. Following full covariate adjustment, each unit increase in AGR was associated with a 79% reduction in the incidence of POP (OR, 0.23; 95% CI: 0.08–0.63; P = 0.0046). The inflection point was found to be 1.33 using a two-piecewise regression model. For each unit increase in AGR on the left side of the inflection point, the incidence of POP decreased by 93% (OR, 0.07; 95%CI: 0.02–0.34; P = 0.0010). However, there was no statistically significant correlation on the right side of the inflection point (OR, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.17–4.10; P = 0.8287).
Conclusion
There exists a non-linear association between preoperative AGR and the incidence of POP in elderly hip fracture patients. When AGR is less than 1.33, the incidence of POP is negatively correlated with AGR. However, there is no correlation when AGR is greater than 1.33.
