Effect of Nursing Measures on Orthostatic Hypotension and risk of falling for Patients after Total Hip Replacement Surgery

Background: A notable medical issue in hospitalized individuals, orthostatichypotension is both widespread and clinically consequential after total hipreplacement, yet it remains commonly overlooked. Therefore, it is important forpatients to understand the nursing measures that can help prevent orthostatichypotension, as well as the risk of falling associated with total hip replacement.Aim: Evaluate the effect of nursing measures on orthostatic hypotension and riskof falling for patients after total hip replacement surgery. Research design: Aquasi-experimental research design. Sample: A purposive sample of 60 patientswho undergoing Total Hip Replacement. Setting: orthopedic department, traumaunit and its outpatient clinics at Assiut University hospital. Tools: Tool I; Patientassessment sheet, Tool II; Morse Fall Scale, Tool III; Orthostatic vital signsAfterResults:toms grading scale.Tool IV; Orthostatic sympmeasurement, andimplementing nursing measures, the mean value of orthostatic vital signs andorthostatic symptoms was improved among the study group more than the controlgroup with p value = 0.0001 as well as there were statistically significantn the studied groups about the risk of falling with p value=differences betweeCompared to the control group, the study group showedConclusion:.0.001statistically significant improvements in orthostatic hypotension and fall riskfollowing nursing measures. Recommendations: Replication of this study inmulticenter trials with broader participant demographics.
