Abstract

Objective

This study employed descriptive qualitative research methods to explore the experiences of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and scheduled for joint replacement at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai between January 2024 and June 2024. Thematic content analysis was utilised to analyse the interview data.

Results

The findings were categorised into four main themes and 10 sub-themes: (1) Experience of illness and treatment; (2) The effect of symptoms on the patient; (3) Experience of Negative Emotions; (4) Need for External Support. This study offers an in-depth examination of the experiences and needs of individuals with knee osteoarthritis concerning disease management and treatment.

Conclusion

Through interviews, we identified multilevel challenges faced by patients in terms of their illness experiences, treatment decisions, lifestyle modifications, and emotional responses. These findings will serve as a valuable reference for developing interventions aimed at improving treatment outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for patients.

膝骨关节炎患者的发病经历:一项定性研究
目的采用描述性定性研究方法,探讨膝关节骨性关节炎患者的治疗经验。方法对2024年1月至2024年6月在上海某三级医院诊断为膝关节骨性关节炎并计划进行关节置换术的20例患者进行半结构化访谈。采用主题内容分析对访谈数据进行分析。结果调查结果分为4个主题和10个副主题:(1)疾病体验和治疗;(2)症状对患者的影响;(3)负性情绪体验;(4)需要外部支持。本研究对膝关节骨性关节炎患者在疾病管理和治疗方面的经验和需求进行了深入的研究。通过访谈,我们确定了患者在疾病经历、治疗决策、生活方式改变和情绪反应方面面临的多层次挑战。这些发现将为制定旨在改善治疗结果和提高患者生活质量的干预措施提供有价值的参考。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
