The Illness Experience of Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Qualitative Study
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.
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.
