Factors Predicting First Early Ambulation After Hip Fracture Surgery in Elderly Patients
Keywords:
first early ambulation, hip surgery, elderlyAbstract
This retrospective study aimed to investigate the factors predicting the first gait after hip fracture surgery among elderly patients. The sample group consisted of 125 patients, aged 60 years and older who had undergone hip surgery within 72 hrs. Data were collected through personal data records and a record form for illness information and were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The instruments had a content validity index (CVI) of 0.96.
The results showed that, age and co - morbidity significantly influence early ambulation in elderly patients after hip surgery at 20.4% (R2 = .204). Specifically, age and comorbidities were significant predictors of the first gait after hip fracture surgery by these patients (b = -.319, b = -.307), respectively. Therefore, care providers must take these factors into account to facilitate patients in recovering from illness better and more quickly.
