Impact of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)-based proactive nursing combined with individualized functional exercise on hip function in patients following hip replacement

Perioper Med (Lond)Published Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

FMEA-based proactive nursing combined with individualized functional exercise accelerates recovery, improves hip function, reduces pain and negative emotions, enhances quality of life, and lowers complication rates while increasing patient satisfaction.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

HHS subscores post-intervention
  • Function: Intervention 34.62 ± 2.97 vs Control 27.94 ± 2.87 (P < 0.05)
  • Range of motion: Intervention 3.64 ± 0.63 vs Control 2.28 ± 0.45 (P < 0.05)
  • Pain: Intervention 28.98 ± 4.29 vs Control 23.52 ± 3.83 (P < 0.05)
  • Deformity: Intervention 2.78 ± 0.55 vs Control 2.02 ± 0.25 (P < 0.05)
  • Harris hip score (HHS) higher than before care in both groups
