What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of a Snyder Hope Theory-based nursing intervention on elderly patients recovering from hip fracture surgery. The study aims to improve psychological well-being, reduce pain, and enhance functional recovery by comparing this specialized intervention to standard postoperative care. The trial focuses on patients aged 60 and older who have recently undergone hip fracture surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The intervention group will receive counseling, goal setting, rehabilitation training, and peer support based on the Snyder Hope Theory. The control group will receive routine pain management, rehabilitation exercises, and general recovery guidance without the specialized nursing intervention. The treatment period lasts for two weeks. During the study, participants will be assessed before and after the two-week intervention for hope levels, pain, anxiety, hip joint function, and quality of life. These measurements include the Herth Hope Index, Visual Analog Scale for pain, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Harris Hip Score, and WHOQOL-BREF. The research team will analyze these data to understand the intervention's impact on psychological, functional, and physical recovery.
