Early Mobilization After Arthroplasty

Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted in order to determine the factors that affected the early mobilization after surgery of patients who had undergone knee and hip arthroplasty.

Background: Early mobilization in knee and hip arthroplasty is still not at the desired level, and it is among the most frequently overlooked nursing practices.

Desing: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional. STROBE checlist was used to compile the study's report.

Methods: The universe of the study consisted of a total of 80 patients who were hospitalized between 07 November 2017 and 21 September 2018 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of a State Hospital to undergo knee or hip arthroplasty, and who met the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study consisted of 60 patients who were in the universe of the study, who met the inclusion criteria and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.
