ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Teach-back health education combined with continuity care in patients with knee joint training injuries.
MethodsA total of 210 patients with knee joint training injuries admitted to our hospital from May 2023 to August 2024 were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (105 cases each) using a random number table. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received Teach-Back health education combined with continuity care. Outcomes, including the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and postoperative complication rates, were compared between the two groups before and 2 months after intervention.
ResultsAt 2 months post-intervention, both groups showed significant improvements in HSS, GQOLI-74, and HPLP-II scores compared to baseline (P < 0.05), with the observation group outperforming the control group (P < 0.05). At 2 weeks post-intervention, the observation group exhibited lower STAI scores than the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications (deep vein thrombosis, joint stiffness, pressure injuries, and infections) was significantly lower in the observation group (P < 0.05).
ConclusionTeach-Back health education combined with continuity care effectively promotes functional recovery, improves quality of life and psychological wellbeing, enhances health-promoting behaviors, and reduces postoperative complications in patients with knee joint training injuries. This approach holds significant clinical value for accelerating rehabilitation and maintaining military readiness.
