The Effect of Coaching Strategy on Some Patient Outcomes After Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery

Different strategies, methods and training techniques are used in the implementation of preoperative and postoperative nursing care of surgical patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty surgery. One of them is patient coaching. Coaching is a method that increases the quality of nursing care.While the coaching strategy contributes more to the recovery process of the patient with the role of the case manager of the nurse, it provides a reduction in the problems related to surgery (pain, nausea-vomiting, mobilization problems), reduction in repeated hospitalizations and positive contributions to the cost.
