摘要：

This paper reports the results of a study evaluating the effects of an experimental program on post-hospital adjustment of early discharged patients after total hip arthroplasties. This experimental program consisted of patient teaching by means of a pamphlet and videotape, and regular home visits by a community health nurse. A significant difference was found between the experimental and control patients in perceived preparedness for discharge and post-hospital exercise compliance. The early discharged experimental patients demonstrated post-hospital objective and subjective functional capabilities equal to those of the control patients. This study is seen to have implications for nursing service and nursing education. © 1990.
