"The Effect of AI-Assisted Mobilization Education on Kinesiophobia and Readiness for Hospital Discharge in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty''

Turkey (Türkiye)72 participantsStarted 2026-05-05

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty on their level of kinesiophobia and readiness for hospital discharge. The research questions are as follows: Does artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty affect their level of kinesiophobia? Does artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education provided to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty affect their readiness for hospital discharge? Study Procedure In the control group, participants will receive the standard care routinely provided in the orthopedic clinic, without viewing the artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education video. In the intervention group, participants will receive an artificial intelligence-assisted video-based mobilization education program developed to prepare them for their first postoperative mobilization. Intervention Group: After hospital admission, participants will complete a Personal Information Form. On postoperative day 1, before the first mobilization, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered. Following completion of the baseline assessment, participants will receive the artificial intelligence-assisted video-based mobilization education delivered by a nurse. Immediately after the education, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered again. Four hours before hospital discharge, participants will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Patient Self-Assessment Form, and the nurse will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Adult Patients-Nurse Assessment Short Form. Control Group: After hospital admission, participants will complete a Personal Information Form. On postoperative day 1, before the first mobilization, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered. Following the baseline assessment, participants will receive the routine verbal mobilization education provided by the nurse. Immediately after the education, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be administered again. Four hours before hospital discharge, participants will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Patient Self-Assessment Form, and the nurse will complete the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Adult Patients-Nurse Assessment Short Form. At the final stage of the study, all preoperative and postoperative data collected from the participants will be compiled, recorded, and analyzed. Inclusion Criteria: Patients will be included in the study if they meet the following criteria: Age 18 years or older Undergoing total knee arthroplasty for the first time Able to read and write in Turkish No impairments that would prevent watching, hearing, or understanding the educational video No diagnosed psychiatric disorders and not using psychiatric medications that may affect the accuracy of responses No additional conditions affecting mobility other than knee arthroplasty No administration of narcotic analgesics within 30-60 minutes prior to mobilization Having access to a mobile phone capable of viewing the educational video during both the preoperative and postoperative periods. The population of the study will consist of all patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty in the Orthopedics Clinic of a state hospital. The sample will include patients who meet the study eligibility criteria and agree to participate in the study. A total of 72 patients will participate in the study, with 36 patients assigned to the control group and 36 patients assigned to the intervention group. Written and verbal informed consent will be obtained from all patients prior to participation in the study. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
