Journal Title: Journal of Public Health and Development - Year 2022, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Lifestyle affects health and life expectations and care training programs are attempts to change patients' lifestyles. The study aims to evaluate the effects of educational intervention on the lifestyle of patients with knee osteoarthritis. In this clinical trial, 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis were studied before and after total knee arthroplasty. Before surgery, health-promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLP II) was completed for all patients. Then the patients attended educational programs about aspects of lifestyle before undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Three months after the surgery, the questionnaire was again completed for all patients. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed statistically. The mean score of the components of health responsibility ( vs. ), physical activity ( vs. ), nutrition ( vs. ), self-actualization ( vs. ), interpersonal support ( vs. ), and total mean of HPLP II questionnaires ( vs. ) significantly increased after the training (p<0.05). However, the education program did not improve the mental stress management component ( vs. p=0.479). Educational intervention can improve the lifestyle of patients with knee osteoarthritis after total knee arthroplasty. These training programs are ineffective in improving stress management components and should be further investigated by future studies. The present study provided significant findings on education and improving lifestyle. The findings of this study provide a new vision for policymakers to reduce health problems by refining lifestyles.
