# The Effect of Video-Based Education on Activities of Daily Living and Wound Healing of Patients with Total Hip Replacement: Randomised Controlled Trials

## TL;DR

A study found that video-based education improved recovery and wound healing in patients who had hip replacement surgery.

## Contribution

This study demonstrates that video-based education is more effective than routine care for post-surgery recovery in hip replacement patients.

## Key findings

- Patients with video-based education showed better daily living activities and hip function.
- Wound healing improved significantly in the video-based education group on postoperative days 5 and 30.

## Abstract

Background and Purpose: There remains a need for effective and accessible education methods to support recovery after total hip replacement. To evaluate the effects of video-based education on daily living activities and wound healing of patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery. Methods: A randomised controlled trial was used. Eligible participants were those aged 18 years and over who had undergone total hip replacement surgery in a training and research hospital. The intervention group received video-based training, while the control group received only routine care. Results: Patients in the video-based training group showed significantly greater improvement in daily living activities, hip function, and wound healing on postoperative days 5 and 30 compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Video-based education significantly improved daily living activities, hip function, and wound healing in patients undergoing total hip replacement. Clinicaltrials ID: NCT06523829
