Integrated care programmes for sport and work participation, performance of physical activities and quality of life among orthopaedic surgery patients: a systematic review with meta-analysis

“…Eventually, 17 articles23–39 from 14 studies with in total 2494 participants were included. An overview of extracted data of the included studies can be found in online supplementary material 4.…”

“…Fifteen of the included articles from 12 studies described randomised controlled trials,23 24 26–33 35–39 while two articles described controlled before-after studies 25 34. Most studies were conducted in high-income countries (ie, Western Europe, USA or Australia) and two studies in China38 39 studying samples of patients undergoing surgeries to their back (ie, laminectomy, lumbar discectomy, disc surgery and spinal stenosis),23 24 26 28–31 34 39 upper limbs (ie, anterior shoulder dislocation repair),25 37 hips (ie, total hip arthroplasty)33 36 38 and knees (ie, ACL reconstruction and knee arthroplasty) 27 32 35. Patient samples consisted of combinations of men and women, and the average age of the study samples ranged from 29 to 70 years, with an average (SD) of 51 (14) years.…”

“…Active referral to a case manager was assessed by three studies 31 33 37. Six studies reported the effects of a combined intervention with two components, that is, active referral to a case manager and goal setting (in four studies),23–26 28–30 goal setting and e/mHealth (one study),32 and active referral and e/mHealth (one study) 38. The intervention length ranged from 14 days35 to 36 months34.…”

Effects of a transtheoretical model‐based WeChat health education programme on self‐management among haemodialysis patients: A longitudinal experimental intervention study

Several limited studies intended to improve the self‐management of patients and deliver health education via a social networking platform have shown the long‐term effectiveness (Wang et al, ). Thus, studies on maintaining the long‐term effects of health education programmes in haemodialysis patients are suggested for future research.…”
