Brief Summary: The reasons such as the advanced age of most patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty TKA the presence of concomitant diseases and bilateral prostheses cause a decrease in the quality of life by negatively affecting the healing processes of the patients Patients who try to adapt to the problems experienced during postoperative recovery need the information to develop coping behaviors Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring adequate and effective access of information to the patient during this challenging process which significantly affects mobility and consequently life activities Effective educational interventions to be implemented by nurses enable patients to make decisions about health problems and act to improve their quality of life However for patient education to be efficient the information given must be easy to read understandable and suitable for various learning styles to cope with problems more effectively Still individuals with low health literacy have problems benefiting from all services provided exceptionally patient education at the desired level
Detailed Description: Patients with TKA face many problems in the early postoperative period and home processes after discharge In this process the instruction that will be given by nurses as a part of the care is critical Patient education will contribute to less stress for patients effective participation in their care and more minor problems in the recovery process at home after discharge and increase positive patient outcomes However for the teaching to be effective nurses must first determine the health literacy levels of individuals When initiatives are planned following the level of health literacy it is thought that individuals adaptation to the duration of their health will increase the process will progress effectively the recovery will be positively affected and the quality of life will increase Accordingly this study was conducted to examine the effect of the curriculum prepared according to patients health literacy levels with TKA on the healing process and quality of life

Research hypotheses

H1a- Patient education which is planned according to health literacy levels positively affects patients quality of life

H1b- Patient education which is planned according to health literacy levels reduces patients problems on the 15th day after surgery

H1c- Patient education which is planned according to health literacy levels reduces patients problems in the 6th week after surgery

H1d- Patient education which is planned according to health literacy levels affects the postoperative improvement in functional status in patients

Study Design A control group intervention research Method 102 patients 51 experimental groups and 51 control groups participated in the study The sample was chosen randomly from the universe by the researcher From the patients hospitalized in the clinic and matching the research criteria the control group was determined by random method according to the order of the patients and their data were collected Then the intervention group data were obtained paying attention to the similarity of the groups in terms of education age and gender In the study the education plan prepared in line with the control group data was applied to the intervention group and its effects on the healing processes were observed

Data were collected with Patient Introduction Patient Learning Requirements Functional Evaluation Turkey Health Literacy Discharge Data Collection Post-Discharge 15th and Sixth Week Recovery Process Data Collection Quality of Life Forms
