“…Proposed interventions included multimodal educational programs (hospital-or home-based, also via phone calls or patient literature) [222][223][224], early participation with decision-making, consideration of personal preferences [225], and occupational therapy [226]. Educational programs most frequently focused on the prevention of thromboembolism [227,228], adequate nutrition [229], physical exercise [230,231], and bone-protective therapy [232][233][234]. Overall, these interventions led to a more positive effect on patients' perceived participation in their rehabilitation and activities of daily living (ADL) at discharge [226].…”

Background Health outcomes of older subjects with hip fracture (HF) may be negatively influenced by multiple comorbidities and frailty. An integrated multidisciplinary approach (i.e. the orthogeriatric model) is, therefore, highly recommended, but its implementation in clinical practice suffers from the lack of shared management protocols and poor awareness of the problem. The present consensus document has been implemented to address these issues. Aim To develop evidence-based recommendations for the orthogeriatric co-management of older subjects with HF. Methods A 20-member Expert Task Force of geriatricians, orthopaedics, anaesthesiologists, physiatrists, physiotherapists and general practitioners was established to develop evidence-based recommendations for the pre-, peri-, intra-and postoperative care of older in-patients (≥ 65 years) with HF. A modified Delphi approach was used to achieve consensus, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force system was used to rate the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. Results A total of 120 recommendations were proposed, covering 32 clinical topics and concerning preoperative evaluation (11 topics), perioperative (8 topics) and intraoperative (3 topics) management, and postoperative care (10 topics). Conclusion These recommendations should ease and promote the multidisciplinary management of older subjects with HF by integrating the expertise of different specialists. By providing a convenient list of topics of interest, they might assist in identifying unmet needs and research priorities.

“…And for symptoms, calf pain, swelling, redness, and discomfort of the legs, and fever were the most known ones. [ 10 ] In 2016, research was conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs regarding mechanical prophylaxis of DVT on nurse’s knowledge and practice. According to the research, there has been a considerable improvement in nurses’ knowledge after the program.…”

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) contains deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is a disabling circumstance with a high probability of recurrence and doubtlessly deadly. VTE is a significant public health issue affecting thousands of patients globally and is accountable for a high number of hospitalizations annually. Methods: A total of 1661 Saudis were surveyed in a cross-sectional observational study. A questionnaire that has already been designed was used to gather information about sociodemographic characters, knowledge about DVT, risk factors, symptoms, complications, relation to patient’s activity, the seriousness of DVT leading to death, and symptoms of PE. Result: Approximately 45.5% among participants had prior awareness of DVT. Overweight and long-term travel was the most well-known risk factors. Most of the participants (60%) were aware that DVT occurs when a patient spends most of their time in bed relaxing, the most frequent clinical manifestations were pain and discomfort (97.8%) and local leg pain (73.8%). 45.3% of the participants knew DVT can result in mortality, 36.4% knew more than one pulmonary embolism characteristic, 35%, and 12.6% were aware that post-coagulation syndrome and pulmonary embolism are problems. 12% had a better understanding of DVT and 79% had poor knowledge. Participants who were above 66 years had a university degree, worked in a health specialty, knew about DVT, and received such information from their studies as medical students had a much higher mean knowledge score on DVT than others. Conclusion: Poor knowledge necessitates community education programs about risk factors, signs and symptoms, and sequelae of DVT.

“…There is a need to identify the type of supportive relationship that is established with informal caregivers to offer them an appropriate educational plan. Furthermore, it is necessary to evaluate if the degree of instruction received during the hospitalization period and the knowledge of informal caregivers about the disease, is sufficient for them to be able to face a functional recovery process in the postoperative period in order to maintain the role of caregiver after patients' surgery [11].…”

Background: Caregivers represent the core of patients’ care in hospital structures, in the process of care and self-care after discharge. We aim to identify the factors that affect the strain of caring for orthopedic patients and how these factors are related to the quality of life of caregivers. We also want to evaluate the role of caregivers in orthopedic disease, focusing attention on the patient–caregiver dyad. Methods: A comprehensive search on PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and Embase databases was conducted. This review was reported following PRISMA statement guidance. Studies were selected, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, about patient–caregiver dyads. For quality assessment, we used the MINORS and the Cochrane Risk of BIAS assessment tool. Results: 28 studies were included in the systematic review; in these studies, 3034 dyads were analyzed. Caregivers were not always able to bear the difficulties of care. An improvement in strain was observed after behavioral interventions from health-care team members; Conclusions: The role of the caregiver can lead to a deterioration of physical, cognitive and mental conditions. The use of behavioral interventions increased quality of life, reducing the strain in caregivers of orthopedic patients. For this reason, it is important to consider the impact that orthopedic disease has on the strain of the caregiver and to address this topic.
