Summary

Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that leads to problems such as pain, restricted mobility, and decreased quality of life in the knee joint, especially among elderly individuals. In advanced-stage knee osteoarthritis, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is performed to reduce pain and loss of function. However, in the postoperative period, patients may encounter various problems such as pain, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and difficulties in daily living activities.

This study investigates how continuous care counseling based on Roy's Adaptation Model affects the comfort and quality of life of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Roy's Adaptation Model is a widely used approach in nursing that supports individuals in adapting to changes they experience. Counseling and education provided in line with this model aim to help patients cope with the physical and psychological problems they face before and after surgery.

In the study, specially designed training and counseling services were offered to patients who underwent surgery, and the effects of these services on pain, anxiety, sleep quality, and daily living activities were evaluated. The results of the research indicate that continuous care counseling based on Roy's Adaptation Model may be effective in improving patients' postoperative comfort and quality of life. These findings may contribute to the improvement of postoperative care for both patients and healthcare professionals.

BEHAVIORAL

Continuous Care Counseling Based on the Roy Adaptation Model

Patients in the control group will receive the clinic's routine treatment and nursing care. This care includes preoperative and postoperative information, prevention of leg flexion, monitoring of vital signs, pain management, discharge education, and discharge of patients without complications three days after surgery. In addition, patients' overall comfort and quality of life will be assessed face-to-face five days before surgery and on the second postoperative day, and by telephone at the first and third months after discharge.
