Patients' Views on Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Focus-group Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Total Knee Arthroplasty for Total Knee Arthroplasty. Completed, enrolled 8 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In order to assess patients' concerns and other quality of life aspects, post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires further assessment tools, more than controlled experiments testing defined isolated variables. Qualitative research offers useful methods to explicate the complexity and deeper meaning of patient experiences and outcomes post-TKA. Qualitative methods facilitate the collection of in-depth experiences and perceptions from individuals about a specific phenomenon which, in this case, is outcomes post-TKA. Specifically, a phenomenological approach allows for the collection of diverse and unique patient experiences and outcomes post-TKA . The focus of this project is using focus groups to explore poorly understood areas, such as outcomes and experiences post-TKA, in order to generate useful findings and hypotheses.
