Turkey (Türkiye)70 participantsStarted 2021-02-08

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transitional care in patients with total knee arthroplasty on patients' functional status, perceived self-efficacy, and health care use. Based on the sampling inclusion criteria, we assigned the patients who would undergo knee arthroplasty to the control (n=35) and intervention (n=35) groups, via the block randomization method. The intervention group received transitional care, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected on post-intervention functional status, level of self-efficacy, and hospital visits outside of routine control.
