The impact of nursing-led emotional preparation on mental health after total hip arthroplasty

The nurse-led video-based intervention did not produce immediate emotional benefits but was associated with improved functional recovery at 1 month; however, it has not been shown to be more effective than usual care. These findings suggest that targeted nursing interventions may support postoperative recovery, particularly in functional outcomes, while emotional effects remain inconclusive and warrant further investigation. Importantly, the video format offers a more sustainable and cost-effective approach compared to printed materials, reducing the need for physical handouts while maintaining structured patient education.
