First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a nursing program based on the ABC-X model for 117 adults aged 30-65 getting their first total knee replacement. The program helps patients and families handle stress, find support, and think more positively. Researchers will measure mental strength, self-care, exercise habits, and family function six months after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nursing intervention based on the ABC-X model

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help knee replacement patients feel stronger emotionally and recover better at home.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 117 people. The intervention is a nursing program, not a drug, so any benefits are likely modest and may not apply to all patients.
