About this study

Fase 1: 600 patients waiting for or already having received total hip-/knee-replacement participated in a questionnaire study using SF- 36. The aim was to document self-rated health among this population.

Fase 2: Results from the cross section study form the base for the RCT, where 160 patients over 65 years undergoing THR, 80 patients are in an intervention group and 80 patients in a control group. A nurse intervention program is tested, and results from the study will form the base for a structured rehabilitation program.
