Following total knee arthroplasty, patients may encounter numerous problems that can hinder the performance of daily living activities, negatively impact quality of life, and increase morbidity and mortality rates. In this context, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of nursing education and tele-consultation, based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring, on daily living activities, self-care agency, and quality of life in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Individuals who voluntarily consent to participate,
Aged 18 years or older,
Those scheduled for their first Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA),
Patients undergoing unilateral knee prosthesis surgery,
Patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) as an emergency surgical intervention,
Patients diagnosed with any psychiatric disorder,
Patients who wish to withdraw from the study voluntarily,
Patients whose communication is interrupted before the completion of the data collection phase.
Parallel
Teleconsulting supported training
Other interventionPatients in this group will be provided with training the day before surgery, on the morning of surgery and on the day of discharge, and will receive teleconsulting services at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th weeks after discharge. will be given.
KATZ Activities of Daily Living Scale
The scale was developed in 1963 by Katz and his colleagues to assess individuals' basic activities of daily living. This scale measures the level of dependency in six basic self-care activities: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. The total score ranges from 0 to 6, with lower scores indicating a higher level of dependence. The scale classifies as follows: 0-2 points indicates dependent, 3-4 points indicates partially dependent, and 5-6 points indicates independent.

Short Form 36 Quality of Life Scale
The SF-36 scale, developed by Ware in 1992, is commonly used for the assessment of quality of life. The SF-36 evaluates eight health dimensions: physical functioning, physical role, emotional role, pain, mental health, vitality, social functioning, and general health perception, comprising a total of 36 items. Item 2 assesses changes over the past year, while the remaining items focus on evaluations from the past four weeks. Items 4 and 5 are formatted in a yes/no response format, while the other items use Likert-type scales (3, 5, and 6-point). Additionally, questions numbered 1, 6, 7, 8, 9a, 9d, 9e, 9h, 11b, and 11d are reverse-coded, meaning their responses are inverted prior to score calculation. During the assessment, separate total scores are obtained for each subscale, and these scores range from 0 to 100. An increase in the SF-36 score indicates better quality of life, while a decrease signifies poorer quality of life.
