Summary

Total knee replacement (TKR) is the most effective treatment modality for the correction of knee deformities, increasing the knee functions (KF), relieving pain, and improving quality of life (QoL) of patients. According to the health statistics of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), TKR is most commonly used in Sweden (240/100,000), United States (226/100,000), and Austria (215/100,000), while this rate is estimated as 67/100,000 in Turkey (OECD, 2017). Although it has been increasingly applied in Turkey and worldwide, it is associated with postoperative pain, restricted range of motion (ROM), and reduced muscle strength, leading to prolonged recovery process and return to activities of daily living (ADLs) with impaired QoL . In addition, inadequate patient education on knee care and ADLs following TKR may result in repetitive and uncontrollable movements and complications such as severe pain and dislocation. Postoperative complications have been shown to be associated with rehospitalization and redo surgery.

Video-assisted education

Prior the study, the content and comprehensibility of the VE were evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon, two orthopedic nurses, and a physiotherapist who were not involved in the study and relevant amendments were made based on their suggestions. The preview of the final version of the VE was shown to four patients (10% of the sample) and these patients were excluded from the study. The patients were interviewed by phone calls on a weekly basis and watching VE at home, the frequency of watching VE, and doing home-based exercises were questioned.
