This is a quasi-experimental design study. The participants received total knee arthroplasty by one single surgeon in two facilities within the same medical system (Kaohsiung Medical University affiliated hospitals). The intervention groups received integrated rehabilitation program including verbal one-on-one education, personalized post-operation rehabilitation during admission and scheduled post-operation follow up by a nurse case manager. The control group received the same surgery with traditional clinical pathway by the single surgeon in another affiliated hospital.~We recorded the pain scores, state-trait anxiety inventory scores, WOMAC(Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities Arthritis Index) scores, American Knee society scores for these participants.
This project is about the integrated rehabilitation program for the patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. The investigators are monitoring the WOMAC(Western Ontario and Mcmaster University Arthritis Index)/ Pain scores/Anxiety scores/Knee society scores in the treatment course between the intervention group and the control group.
