Effective postoperative pain management is necessary to improve the outcomes of older adults undergoing total knee replacement (TKR). Discovering what registered nurses (RNs) need to know about pain management may be beneficial to improving the quality of care.
Aim
The study aimed to identify the information needed to develop pain management education for RNs caring for older adults undergoing TKR.
Methods
A qualitative descriptive design was used in this study. Three focus groups were conducted with 22 staff RNs with experience caring for older adults undergoing TKR at a supra-tertiary care hospital in Bangkok, Thailand; one focus group was conducted with five members of the hospital's nursing pain management committee. Data were analyzed using content analysis.
Results
Two themes relevant to pain assessment education were pain assessment and pain management. Subthemes of pain assessment included challenges in cognitively impaired older adults, inadequate knowledge and misconceptions, and re-assessing pain. Three subthemes of pain management were created, including knowledge of pain medication, new trends in pharmacological pain management and devices, and non-pharmacological pain management using cold compression.
Conclusions
RNs require current information about pain management to provide effective postoperative care for older adults undergoing TKR. The findings may be used in pain management education to update RNs’ knowledge of pain management.

Background
Arthritis is a chronic condition of the joints and taking medicine alone cannot be effective in getting better result as there is no cure of the disease. Understanding the condition and the steps necessary to limit the disease's progression increases the practice of self-care behaviours, which are crucial for halting the disease's progression and sustaining quality of life.
Objective
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a nurse led educational program on knowledge and self-care behavior among arthritis patients.
Methods
This study used a single group pre-test and post-test, pre-experimental research design and selected 210 study participants using a convenient sampling technique at OPD of Ortho and Medicine department, Nims Medical College and Hospital, Nims University, Rajasthan, Jaipur, India.After pretest, patients participated in a four session of nurse led educational program, then post test was conducted after three months.
Results
The result shows that there was significant improvement in knowledge and self-care behavior among arthritis patients after the supportive educational program (p = 0.001).
Conclusion
The nurse led educational program can be seen as useful aid in raising knowledge and self-care behavior for the management of disease among patients.

Since patients may experience difficulties in their daily activities after total knee replacement surgery, the role of the caregiver is important in supporting the daily needs of the patients. Caregivers are involved in the day-to-day care activities of the patient during the recovery process, managing their symptoms and providing support. All these factors can affect the burden and stress of caregivers.
Methods
It was aimed to compare the caregiver burden and stress of caregivers of total knee replacement patients who were discharged on the same day of surgery and at a later point. Data were collected from 140 caregivers by using the Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale, Zarit Caregiving Burden Scale, and Stress Coping Styles Scale.
Results
There was no significant difference between on the same day of surgery discharge and later discharge in terms of care burden and stress of caregivers (p > 0.05). While the burden of care was mild to moderate (22.15 ± 13.76) on the same day of surgery discharge group, the burden of care in the later discharge group was very low (19.03 ± 13.65).
Conclusion
In order to reduce the care burden and stress levels of caregivers, it is important that nurses determine the problems related to caregiving and provide the necessary support.

Pain management and early mobilization strategies are recommended in clinical practice guidelines for the prevention of delirium in older adults. However, available data on the implementation of these strategies in trauma are limited.
Aims
To describe the use of pain management and early mobilization strategies in older adults at a level I trauma center, as well as the facilitators and barriers to their implementation.
Methods
A convergent mixed methods study was used. Quantitative data were collected from sixty medical records. Qualitative data was collected through a focus group with healthcare providers to explore their perspectives regarding the use of the target practices and on barriers and facilitators to their implementation. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and a thematic analysis using an inductive and deductive interpretative descriptive approach was undertaken.
Results
A question on the presence/absence of pain was the most frequently documented pain assessment method. Pain assessment was poorly documented. Frequencies of non-opioid and opioid administrations were similar, but non-pharmacological strategies were not widely used. The first mobilization was performed quickly and was most commonly to a chair. The focus group discussion confirmed many of the data collected in the medical records. Barriers to implementing the targeted strategies were primarily related to organizational context and facilitation processes.
Conclusions
Areas for improvement were identified including pain assessment, the use of non-pharmacological pain management strategies and ambulation as a mobilization strategy. Our findings will serve as a starting point for optimizing and adapting practices for geriatric trauma patients and evaluating their impact.

Purpose
The objective was to investigate the relationships among disease characteristics, sarcopenia risk, bone function, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life in menopausal women. Additionally, we also examined the potential mediating role of coping in the relationship between these factors and health outcomes for individuals with osteoporosis.
Methods
In a cross-sectional approach, 201 participants were referred by a physician from the Family Medicine Department during their outpatient visits at a general hospital in Southern Taiwan. Data collection involved structured one-on-one interviews, and the analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, along with a structural equation modeling.
Results
The participants' bone function was strongly positively related to coping, physical and mental quality of life (QOL), and negatively related to sleep quality and depressive symptoms. The duration of osteoporosis was positively related to pain, sarcopenia risk, sleep quality, but negatively related to bone function, physical and mental QOL. This structural framework explains 36% of the variance in depressive symptoms, 25% in sleep disturbances, 54% in mental QOL, and 72% in physical QOL. The best-fit structural equation modeling showed that physical function, exercise, sarcopenia, pain, and coping were significant predictors of depressive symptoms, with coping acting as a mediator in these relationships.
Conclusion
Individuals who employed more active coping strategies exhibited fewer depressive symptoms, better sleep quality, and superior physical and mental QOL. Further, individuals with osteoporosis had lower pain levels, less sarcopenia risk, and higher engaged in exercise presentation improved physical and mental QOL. Future longitudinal research holds the promise of providing deeper insights into these complex relationships.

Introduction
The documentation on patient reported outcomes the first weeks at home following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is sparse. Length of hospital stay after THA is substantially reduced. Therefore, knowledge on whether patients are managing their own postoperative rehabilitation early after discharge is important, in order to give the patients realistic preoperative information, to modify expectations and enable patients to monitor their own rehabilitation process.
Methods
Eighty-two THA patients were included in a prospective cohort study. Patient-reported outcomes were collected twice a week thirty days postoperatively using a web-based registration tool. Numeric rating scales (0–10) for pain, function, and quality of life, EQ-5D, and the use of opioids were registered. Four weeks postoperatively a telephone interview were conducted. Pain, EQ5D and hip specific physical function score (HOOS-PS) were recorded preoperatively, at three- and twelve-months follow-up.
Results
Pain was maintained the first days after hospital discharge. From day 0 to day 30, pain decreased from 4.0 (SD 2.23) to 2.3 (SD 1.75), function improved from 4.4 (SD 2.06) to 7 (SD 1.57), quality of life improved from 6.3 (SD 2.69) to 7.8 (SD 1.47), and EQ-5D improved from 0.4 to (SD 0.27) to 0.7 (SD 0.14). After 30 days, 32% still used opioids. All patients completed the web-registration. Pain, EQ-5D and HOOS-PS improved substantially from preoperatively to twelve months follow-up.
Conclusion
Fast-track THA patients can expect continued postoperative pain and impaired quality of life the first week at home, before gradually improvement. After thirty days, 32 % of the patients still used opioids.

Many studies have reported conflicting results for the use of tramadol with the risk of fractures, especially hip fractures. This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate the association of tramadol use versus codeine use with the risk of hip fracture for the first time.
Methods
PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched with specific keywords to find studies that examined the association of tramadol use with hip fracture risk in patients with osteoarthritis up to May 2023. The risk of hip fracture secondary to tramadol versus codeine use was estimated based on age and sex. This systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA checklist. Heterogeneity between studies was evaluated using Cochran's Q and I2 tests. Egger's test was used to check publication bias. The Newcastle-Ottawa Checklist (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the studies.
Findings
Ten studies with 1,939,293 participants were reviewed. The majority of participants were female. Based on the study evaluation checklist, most studies were of good quality. Tramadol use significantly increases the overall risk of hip fracture. (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.51, P: 0.001, I2:19.3%) Tramadol use significantly increases the risk of hip fracture in men (HR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.73, P: 0.001 I2:35%) and age ≤65 years (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.45, 1.80, P: 0.001, I2:0%).
Conclusion
The use of tramadol significantly increases the risk of hip fracture. This increased risk of hip fracture was greater in males younger than 65 years.
