Orem’s Self-Care Model of Nursing Care: A Retrospective Study with Elders After Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract

This retrospective study investigates the effectiveness of a nursing intervention based on Orem’s self-care model of nursing with elderly patients with femoral head necrosis who underwent total hip arthroplasty. Postoperative outcomes in the intervention and control groups were assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS), Barthel index, and Harris Hip Score (HHS). Participants in the intervention group had significantly better outcomes in terms of VAS, Barthel index, and HHS. The occurrence of pneumonia was significantly different between the groups. Those who underwent Orem’s self-care model of nursing intervention were highly satisfied with their status postoperatively compared with the control group.
