Evaluating AI-Assisted Video Education to Reduce Fear of Movement and Enhance Discharge Readiness in Adults Undergoing First-Time Total Knee Replacement

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence AI-assisted mobilization education on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, focusing on reducing fear of movement kinesiophobia and improving readiness for hospital discharge. The study involves adult patients having their first total knee replacement and compares AI-assisted education with standard care. Early mobilization after surgery is important for recovery, and this study explores whether AI-based education can better prepare patients for this process. Participants are divided into two groups a control group receiving standard verbal mobilization education and an intervention group receiving an AI-assisted video-based mobilization education delivered by a nurse before the first postoperative mobilization. Both groups complete assessments of kinesiophobia using the Tampa Scale before and after education on the first day after surgery. Readiness for hospital discharge is measured by both patient and nurse assessments about four hours before discharge. During the study, participants complete personal information forms and undergo evaluations on postoperative day 1 and shortly before discharge. Researchers collect and analyze data on kinesiophobia changes and readiness for discharge using validated scales. The study includes 72 patients and is designed to provide evidence on whether AI-assisted education can support recovery and discharge preparation. Participation lasts from hospital admission through to discharge, with assessments focused around early postoperative mobilization.
